Containment (computer programming)

For other uses, see Containment (disambiguation).

In OOP supported languages, containership means an object is created within another object.

For Example in C++:

class A
{
        int a;
}x;
 
class B
{
        A y; // All the data members and member functions of class A can be accessed through the object 'y'
}z;
