message
     
        In {object-oriented programming} sending a message to an
        {object} (to invoke a {method}) is equivalent to calling a
        {procedure} in traditional programming languages, except that
        the actual code executed may only be selected at run time
        depending on the {class} of the object.  Thus, in response to
        the message "drawSelf", the method code invoked would be
        different if the target object were a circle or a square.
