  9. 9 Main Characteristics Functions take one additional parameter, f called at the end * given what would normally be the return value plus the next function
  10. 10 Main Characteristics Things, things and more things! Capsules of data and procedures Data is never accessed directly Capsules say "I do the same things as that one, and more!"
