 Object - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
An object is a language supported mechanism for binding data tightly with methods that operate on that data.
In information processing, an object is a system which transmits information to an observer.
It describes patterns for managing object creation, composing objects into larger structures, and coordinating control flow...

 Object (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
Otherwise, this method creates a new instance of the class of this object and initializes all its fields with exactly the contents of the corresponding fields of this object, as if by assignment; the contents of the fields are not themselves cloned.
Typically, this means copying any mutable objects that comprise the internal "deep structure" of the object being cloned and replacing the references to these objects with references to the copies.
object is the object that is locked by

 Object language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, the object language of a translation by a compiler or assembler is the language into which a computer program is being translated.
Object language should not be confused with object-oriented language, which is a particular type of computer programming language.
The object language of a translation most often is a machine language, but can be some other kind of language, such as assembly language.

 Objects and Complements
An indirect object (which, like a direct object, is always a noun or pronoun) is, in a sense, the recipient of the direct object.
An object complement is similar to a subject complement, except that (obviously) it modifies an object rather than a subject.
The word (or phrase) which follows a linking verb is called not an object, but a subject complement.

 object - a Whatis.com definition
In between, each object is made into a generic class of object and even more generic classes are defined so that objects can share models and reuse the class definitions in their code.
In object-oriented programming (OOP), objects are the things you think about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process.
Each object is an instance of a particular class or subclass with the class's own

 Object
Properly conceived, the object-thesis does not require that philosophically respectable references be always somehow singular, and there is no such single object as the object of a plural reference, no such unit as ‘the many’.
For example in the proposition ‘there are two objects which…’ by ‘(∃x, y)…’.
He attempts to promote the idea—by no means an intuitively outrageous one—that there is simply no such object as ‘the many’—no such thing as the logical subject of a semantically plural sentence, the (possibly collective) nature of the predication notwithstanding.

 What is object-oriented programming? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Find answers to what object oriented software is by descriptions of its elements, sample code, and brief descriptions of object oriented software products.
One of the principal advantages of object-oriented programming techniques over procedural programming techniques is that they enable programmers to create modules that do not need to be changed when a new type of object is added.

 IBM Haifa Labs Object Store
An individual object is a container of storage (object-data and object-meta-data) that exposes an interface similar to a file, and presents the abstraction of a sparsely allocated array of bytes indexed from zero to infinity.
The standard object store device (OSD) interface was defined in the SNIA OSD working group.
This moves lower-level functionalities such as space management into the storage device itself, where the device is accessed through a standard object interface.

 Objects, Images, and Applets in HTML documents
attribute is instantiated every time an element that refers to that object requires it to be rendered (e.g., a link that refers to it is activated, an object that refers to it is activated, etc.).
This attribute may be used to specify the location of the object's data, for instance image data for objects defining images, or more generally, a serialized form of an object which can be used to recreate it.
For instance, if the included object is a program that renders font data, the author must indicate the location of that data.

 DBMS - July 1997 - Using Object Modeling CASE Tools
IDL is the backbone for describing distributed systems consisting of heterogeneous operating systems and languages for implementing objects.
One of the advantages of object orientation is how well it lends itself to a notational representation of these principles.
Supporting multiple methodologies is only one way object modeling CASE tools are pulled in several directions at the same time.

 Object file - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An object file format is a computer file format used for the storage of object code and related data typically produced by a compiler or Assembler.
In computer science, object file or object code is an intermediate representation of code generated by a compiler after it processes a source code file.
An object file is mostly machine code (code directly executed by a computer's CPU).

 Mike Stall's .NET Debugging Blog : Object Identity in Managed Debugging
Since there’s no GC moving objects around in native code, the object’s address is constant and can be used to refer to the object as long as it is alive.
One side effect of this is that the debugger can now create strong handles to alter the lifespan of objects, which allows a debugger to alter program behavior.
Then the object can always be retrieved later based off its identity, regardless of changes in program state.

 OSA Tutorial
The OBM may be thought of as detailing when and how objects join and leave object classes and relationships.
Thus, information about a system object is easier to locate in object-oriented analysis than in other analysis methods.
It is also difficult for process-oriented analysis to map concepts between a network of processes and objects existing in a real-world system.

 Identity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In object-oriented programming, object identity is a mechanism for distinguishing different objects from each other.
Arbitrary objects a and b can be said to be qualitatively identical if a and b are duplicates, that is, if a and b are exactly similar in all respects, that is, if a and b have all qualitative properties in common.

 Object (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First-class object - an object that can be used without restriction.
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".
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).
