- An object is a region of storage that contains a value or group of
- values. Each value can be accessed using its identifier or a more
- complex expression that refers to the object. In addition, each
- object has a unique data type. Both the identifier and data type
- of an object are established in the object declaration.
- The data type of an object determines the initial storage
- allocation for that object and the interpretation of the values
- during subsequent access.
