In [[computer science]], an '''object''' is a data structure (incorporating data and methods) whose instance is unique from other objects. An object can be conceived of as a sub program which can commuicate with others by receiving or giving isnstructionsinstructions based on its, or the other's, data or methods. Data can consist of numbers, [[literal string]]s, variables, [[reference (computer science)|reference]]s.

Objects are typically combined in an Object Oriented Program (OOP) to model and to solve a real life problem situation.
