In philosophy, an object is a thing, an entity, or a being. This may be taken in several senses. In its weakest sense, the word object is the most all-purpose of nouns, and can replace a noun in any sentence at all. (In ordinary usage, the word has something like this effect, but not as extreme.) Thus objects are things as diverse as the pyramids, Alpha Centauri, the number seven, my belief in predestination, and your mother's fear of dogs. Charles S. Peirce succinctly defines the broad notion of an object as follows: "By an object, I mean anything that we c ...

Thus "Socrates is a philosopher" consists of "Socrates", which signifies the Object Socrates, and "is a philosopher", w ...

In computer science, an immutable object, as opposed to a mutable object, is a kind of object whose internal state cannot be modified after it is created. An object can be either entirely immutable or some attributes in the object may be declared immutable, as in C++'s const member data attribute. In some cases, an object is considered immutable even if some internally used attributes change but the object's state appears to be unchanging from an external point of view. For example, an object that uses memoization to cache the ...

Data Access Objects (DAO) were an object oriented interface created by Microsoft which allowed early versions of Microsoft Access and Visual Basic to use the Jet database engine.

DAO works by creating a "Workspace" object in which all database operations are performed. The workspace object exists as a session object that exists within a larger database engine object. There are two types of database engines: a Jet ...
