Abstract
In most programming languages, some information is expressed through declaration, and other information is expressed through code. For example, in the following class member declaration
public int Test;
the compiler and runtime will reserve space for an integer variable and set its protection so that it is visible everywhere. This is an example of declarative information; it’s nice because of the economy of expression and because the compiler handles the details for us.
