The distinction between concept and object is due to the German philosopher Gottlob Frege. According to Frege, any sentence that expresses a singular proposition consists of an expression (a proper name or a general term plus the definite article) that signifies an Object together with a predicate (the copula "is", plus a general term accompanied by the indefinite article or an adjective) that signifies (bedeuten) a Concept. 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. Later (in version 3.5) it was able to bypass the Jet engine altogether and directly access ODBC data sources. RDO 2.0 was the final version developed by Microsoft. 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 ...

In software engineering, Business Object Notation (BON) is a method and graphical notation for high-level object-oriented analysis and design. The method was developed 1989-93 by Jean-Marc Nerson and Kim Waldén as a means of extending the higher-level concepts of the Eiffel programming language. It claims to be much simpler than its competition - the UML - but it didn't enjoy its commercial success. ...

objective:

1)    Quality of thinking or perception relating to the object as it truly is. Not biased or colored by one's personal point of view or prejudices, which then would be subjective thinking.

2)    A target, goal or anything sought for or aimed at.

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 ...

Verb Subject Object—commonly used in its abbreviated form VSO—is a term in linguistic typology. It represents one type of languages when classifying languages according to the sequence of these constitutents in neutral expressions: Ate Sam oranges. The word order roughly corresponds to the order of symbols in (non-reverse) Polish notation or the S-expressions of the Lisp programming language. Examples of languages with VSO word order include the Gaelic branch of the Celtic language family (namely Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx), related Welsh (the only VSO ...

A UFO or Unidentified Flying Object is simply defined as any object or optical phenomenon observed in the sky which cannot be identified, even after being thoroughly investigated by qualified people. A fuller definition was given by Dr. J.

It is generally the case that after an object is used, it is removed from memory in order for efficiency and for other programs or more objects to take that object's place. In order for this to happen, a destruction method is called upon that object. Destroying an object will cause any references to the object to become invalid. A destructor is a method called when an instance of a class is deleted, before the memory is deallocated. Note that in C++, a destructor can not be overloaded like a constructor can. It has to have no a ...

In a typical case, the process is as follows: calculate the size of an object - the size is mostly the same as that of the class but can vary. When the object in question is not derived from a class, but from a prototype instead, the size of an object is usually that of the internal data structure (a hash for instance) that holds its slots. allocation - allocating memory space with the size of an object plus the growth later, if possible to know in advance binding methods - this is usually either left to the cl ...
