  Object (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There, objects are still conceptual entities, but generally correspond directly to a contiguous block of computer memory of a specific size at a specific location.
Objects exist only within contexts that are aware of them; a piece of computer memory only holds an object if a program treats it as such (for example by reserving it for exclusive use by specific procedures and/or associating a data type with it).
A real-world example of an object would be "my dog", which is an instance of a type (a class) called "dog", which is a subclass of a class "animal".

 Info and facts on 'Object (computer science)'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
An object is the central concept in object-oriented programming (additional info and facts about object-oriented programming), and the term object today usually refers to an object in the OOP sense.
In the case of most objects, one can access the data members only through the method members, making it easy to guarantee that the data will always remain in a well-defined state (class invariant (additional info and facts about class invariant) s will be enforced).
A real-world example of an object would be "my dog", which is an instance of a type (A subdivision of a particular kind of thing) (a class) called "dog", which is a subclass ((biology) a taxonomic category below a class and above an order) of a class "animal".

In computer science, an object is a data structure whose instance is unique and separate from other objects, although it can "communicate" with other objects.
In computer science, an object is a data structure (incorporating data and methods) whose instance is unique and separate from other objects, although it can "communicate" with other objects.
In some occasions, some object can be conceived of as a sub program which can communicate with others by receiving or giving instructions based on its, or the other's, data or methodss.

 Object (computer science) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Object (computer science)
Each object is housed in a frame and can be moved independently from the other objects on the page.
Objects can be reordered so that items can be brought to the front or sent to the back.
This technique is called overlaying and since each object is of equal priority, objects can be overlaid in any order until the final layout is ready.

 Business object (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Business objects are objects in a computer program that abstract the entities in the domain that the program is written to represent.
Good business objects will encapsulate all of the data and behavior associated with the entity that it represents.
The term is used to distinguish between the objects a developer is creating or using related to the domain and all the other types of object he or she may be working with such as user interface widgets and database objects such as tables or rows.
