Abstract
A conceptual framework for object-oriented programming is presented. The framework is independent of specific programming language constructs. It is illustrated how this framework is reflected in an object-oriented language and the language mechanisms are compared with the corresponding elements of other object-oriented languages. Main issues of object-oriented programming are considered on the basis of the framework presented here.
