   Cohesion
   Cohesion just means 'sticking together' and cohesive forces are the forces that enable something to stick to itself. For example, if you glue two objects together and then break them apart, a cohesive failure is where the glue itself breaks, as opposed to an adhesive failure where the break is at the join between the glue and one of the objects.

    Cohesion
    `Cohesion` may mean: * Cohesion (chemistry): the intermolecular attraction between like-molecules. * Cohesion (computer science): a measure of how well the lines of source code within a module work together to provide a specific piece of functionality. In object-oriented programming, the degree to which a method implements a single function. Methods that implement a single function are described as having high cohesion. * Cohesion (geology): th...
