Object Terminology
  • Object is a container that provides a way to locate, access, modify, and secure data.
  • Class is a description of what data an object holds and how it may be accessed.
  • Method is a means for accessing or modifying an object's data.
  • Interface is how a class of objects appears to the programmer on the outside, as opposed to its internal implementation.
  • Inheritance is how existing classes of objects may be extended to provide additional data and methods.
  • Polymorphism is how distinct objects can behave differently through similar methods.
