| - | An **Object** is a thing object one thinks about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process. In [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:oop]], each object is made into a generic class of objects and even more, generic classes are defined so that objects can share models and reuse the class definitions in their code. Each object is an instance of a particular class or subclass with the class's own methods or procedures and data variables. An object is what actually runs in the computer. | + | An **Object** is a class of things one thinks about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process. In [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:oop]], each thing is made into a generic [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:class]] and instances of the Class are referred to as an object. Classes are specific or generic in nature. Specific Classes are specifically designed to represent a specific class of things. Generic Classes are templates of how an object can be manipulated.

There may also be a Generic Class that represents a collection of things. The Generic Class can be applied to many different classes to create a collection of things (i.e., cars). |
