In computer science, an object is anything that can be either input or output such an immediate number, literal string, variable or reference.

It can be considered to be a triple ( O, A, V) where

  • O can be a name (of the object),
  • A can be a set of attributes (or properties),
  • V can be a set of values for the attributes,

One of the attributes might be the type of the object.
