Objects

May 1, 2024 Updated May 10, 2025 21 minute read

Objects are a fundamental concept in modern software development, forming the basis of a programming paradigm known as Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). At a high level, an object in programming is a self-contained unit that bundles together data (its attributes or properties) and the functions (its methods or behaviors) that operate on that data. This approach allows developers to model real-world things or abstract concepts as objects within their software, making complex systems easier to design, build, and maintain.
