message
(redirected from communique)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

(1) An e-mail that contains text and possibly other file attachments. See e-mail.

(2) Any set of transmitted data. Just as a program becomes a job when it runs in the computer, data becomes a message when it is transmitted over a network.

(3) In object technology, communicating between objects, similar to a function call in traditional programming.

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.
