The computer now knows what a cup is when asked: Can you poor tea into this cup(not without spilling it now asks)<div><br></div><div>I simply do not know why the used the term Object Orientated. </div><div><br></div><div>You are basically speaking computer the computer only knows what you describe as a real example of computer speak</div><div>def Gil= Smar.tas dowhile [mood == good]</div><div><br></div><div>That (in python assuming I didn't mess up spacing would say: Hey there make a thing galled Gil (me) that when while he is in good humor sometimes is a smart ass..</div><div>Someone else might speak to a computer in another language just like I speak some Klingon and a little (almost none ) German, others speak French mandarin etc.</div><div>type coffe; </div><div>Strct Coffee [hot, black list]</div><div>That's (some GoLangJS speak to say: So computer my really cool Ractijono(Coffee) shop needs to have a cofee list! and here is what makes coffeness Coffe!</div><div><br></div><div>it gets weirder with HtmL5 and Xtags:</div><div>
