You find this in languages like Java and C++ where the method is bound early to the object at compile time. A message is an abstraction whereby the actual method that’s being called depends on runtime conditions. The object’s method is late-bound, thereby offering greater flexibility to the executing program. In Smalltalk, for example, an object may receive a message to invoke a non-existent method.
