| Divide-and-Conquer is a most powerful technique to solve the problems. Although breaking down an applications into entities and relationships that are meaningful to end users is a common conventional programming analysis technique, OOP adds
to decomposition:
- division into objects; i.e. encapsualted local states and behavior;
- inheritance for classification of objects;
- inheritance for realization refinement.
OOP accomodates the usual decompositions:
- ensemble objects to represent subsystems;
- class clusters to represent subsystems;
- a set of classes to represent frameworks.
