Programs Do Things

FIGURE 1 ⋅ Programs Do Things

“Every system is built from a domain specific language designed by the programmers to describe that system. Functions are the verbs of that language, and classes are the nouns.” — Robert C. Martin, Clean Code.

Programs Do Things — FIGURE 2 ⋅ Programs Do Things

Functions are the verbs of your programs. They “do” work.

Classes are the nouns of your programs. They are the “things” that functions do work on.
