Abstract

The interplay of multiple objects in object-oriented programming often follows specific protocols, for example certain orders of method calls and/or control structure constraints among them that are parts of the intended object usages. Unfortunately, the information is not always documented. That creates long learning curve, and importantly, leads to subtle problems due to the misuse of objects.
