Editing Software design pattern (section)

== Object-oriented programming ==

[[Object-oriented]] design patterns typically show relationships and interactions between [[class (computer science)|class]]es or [[object (computer science)|object]]s, without specifying the final application classes or objects that are involved. Patterns that imply mutable state may be unsuited for [[functional programming]] languages. Some patterns can be rendered unnecessary in languages that have built-in support for solving the problem they are trying to solve, and object-oriented patterns are not necessarily suitable for non-object-oriented languages.
