Subject	have	be not	be	is a subtopic of	execute	run using	have disadvantages	avoid	design	set	adopted	add	let	have features	use	have feature	develop by	call	have order of operator precedence	contain	allow
C++	much the same syntax as C		the most widely used object oriented language	The Basics of Java			its syntax is quite complex it is too easy to create code that has bugs large C++ programs have thus been found to be hard to maintain - they deteriorate rapidly as many programmers make changes					object oriented extensions to C		abstraction, modularity and encapsulation		pointer arithmetic	Bjarne Stroustrup
Java	much the same syntax as C	the same as JavaScript	less efficient than C and C++ because it contains safety because it contains safety checks that slow down execution and because Java is interpreted which is slower than direct execution of machine code	The Basics of Java	the next line of code in the program if an exception is thrown and Java looks for some code to handle the exception and executes that instead	a virtual machine		the worst kinds of content coupling (e.g. those involving manipulation of pointers) by making it hard to achieve.		the default locale based on what is set in the operating system	many ideas from Smalltalk		programmers refer to information beyond the end of an array	macros multiple inheritance operator overloading pointer arithmetic	Unicode	very easy-to-program networking capabilities		Oak		extensive on-line documentation about each class and method	violations of certain security constraints when programs are downloaded over the Internet
Objective-C				2.6 - The Effect of Inheritance Hierarchies on Polymorphism and Variable Declarations										abstraction, modularity and encapsulation
Simula-67			the first object oriented language	2.6 - The Effect of Inheritance Hierarchies on Polymorphism and Variable Declarations					to allow programmers to write programs that simulate the way objects in the real world behave					abstraction, modularity and encapsulation
Smalltalk				The Basics of Java										abstraction, modularity and encapsulation	a virtual machine
