DEFINITION 14: OBJECT - PRATMG/2143-OOP-Tamang GitHub Wiki

A class provides the blueprints for objects, so an object is essentially created from a class. Objects of a class are declared in the same way that variables of basic types are declared. When a class is defined, only the object's specifications are defined; no memory or storage is allocated. Objects must be created in order to use the data and access functions defined in the class.
