Object (computer science)

Object (computer science)

This concept introduction explains that in computer science, an object can be a variable, data structure, function, or method. In object-oriented programming, an object is a combination of variables, functions, and data structures, referring to a specific instance of a class. In the relational model of database management, an object can be a table, column, or association between data and a database entity.
