[[Discuss what a class is. This will be, I suspect, a part of the overall object oriented information here on the wiki]]



A class, in [object orientation] parlance, an abstract description of the executable actions and type of data and state that an [object] instantiation of said class will have.

A class can consist of state representation, data, and executable code such as
initialization, cleanup, and operations (frequently called methods) that the object
can invoke.

Yuck - don't like that definition!

----
The string "class" is also used as an extension command name, at least within [itcl].
