[[Now, here's a challenge. Discuss what an "object" is, from a Tcl point of view!]] An object, from an [object orientation] point of view, might be thought of as an entity within an application which has executable code as well as related data and state. It is, generally (always?) a specific instantiation of one or more [class]es. See also '''Object (Computer science)''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_%28computer_science%29] at Wikipedia. Other kinds of ''object''s related to Tcl are: * [Tcl_Obj] - the fundamental representation of strings, etc. in Tcl ''([DKF]: Note that it probably should have been called `Tcl_Value`, but that was taken for something else now obsolete.)'' ----!!!!!! %| [Category Concept] | [Category Glossary] | [Category Object Orientation] |% !!!!!!
