Definitions+(VB)


 * Object Oriented Programming:** A style of programming that defines data as objects with attributes and methods that are applied to those objects, and which can be inherited by other objects.


 * Local ** **Variable:** These variables only exist inside the specific function that creates them. They are unknown to other functions and to the main program. As such, they are normally implemented using a stack. Local variables cease to exist once the function that created them is completed. They are recreated each time a function is executed or called.


 * Global ** **Variable:** These variables can be accessed (ie known) by any function comprising the program. They are implemented by associating memory locations with variable names. They do not get recreated if the function is recalled.
