In [[computing]], an '''object''' is something that has an identity, a [[state]], and a [[behaviour]]. The state is encoded in [[instance variable]]s ([[data member]]s), the behavior is encoded in [[method]]s ([[member function]]s). Objects are bundles of related [[variable]]s and methods and are often used to model [[object (philosophy)|real-world objects]]. Objects can be modifiedaffected by [[event-driven programming|event]]s.
