Smalltalk
subject			fact

Smalltalk	is a subtopic of The Basics of Java
	is an instance of object oriented language
	uses a virtual machine
object oriented language	has features Identity: The language must allow a programmer to refer to an object without having to refer to the instance variables contained in the object. Every object has a unique identity; therefore objects that contain instance variables with the same values must be recognized as different objects Classes: The programmer must be able to organize the code into classes, each of which describes the structure and function of a set of objects Inheritance: There has to be a mechanism to organize these classes into inheritance hierarchies, where features inherit from superclasses to subclasses Polymorphism: There has to be a mechanism by which several methods, in related classes, can have the same name and implement the same abstract operation. There must consequently be a dynamic binding mechanism that allows the choice of which method to run to be made during execution of the program
	has features abstraction, modularity and encapsulation
programming language	comes with basic libraries and APIs
language	see also language^2
