Let me try to explain what I mean:

Say, I present a list of objects and I need to get back a selected object by a user. The following are the classes I can think of right now:

ListViewer

Item

App [Calling class]

In case of a GUI application, usually click on a particular item is selection of the item and in case of a command line, some input, say an integer representing that item. Let us go with command line application here.

A function lists all the items and waits for the choice of object, an integer. So here, I get the choice, is choice going to conceived as an object? And based on the choice, return back the object in the list.

Does writing this program like the way explained above make it truly object oriented? If yes, how? If not, why?

Or is the question itself wrong and I shouldn't be thinking along those lines?
