In computer science, an object is a location in memory having a value and possibly referenced by an identifier.
An object can be a variable, a data structure, or a function.
In the class-based object-oriented programming paradigm, "object" refers to a particular instance of a class where the object can be a combination of variables, functions, and data structures.
In relational database management, an object can be a table or column, or an association between data and a database entity (such as relating a person's age to a specific person).
