Object (computer science) In the programming paradigm, object-oriented programming, an object is an individual unit of run-time data storage that is used as the basic building block of programs. These objects act on each other, as opposed to a traditional view in which a program may be seen as a collection of functions, or simply as a list of instructions to the computer.
Object (task) An object in this meaning is the same thing as an objective or task. It comes from old project terminology and refers to the act of actually performing something according to a plan, or rather "according to a project" (the word "project" used to mean "plan").
Object composition In computer science, object composition (not to be confused with function composition) is a way and practice to combine simple objects or data types into more complex ones. Compositions are a critical building block of many basic data structures, including the tagged union, the linked list, and the binary tree, as well as the object used in object-oriented programming.
Object Constraint Language The Object Constraint Language is a declarative language for describing rules that apply to UML models developed at IBM and now part of the UML standard. Initially OCL was only a formal specification language extension to UML.

Object file In computer science, object code, or an object file, is the representation of code that a compiler generates by processing a source code file. Object files contain compact code, often called "binaries". A linker is used to generate an executable or library by linking object files together. An object file consists of machine code (code directly executed by a computer's CPU), together with relocation information, program symbols (names of variables and functions), and possibly debugging information.
Object format A file format that stores data as well as a set of uncompiled instructions in the form of functions, called methods. The methods being used to interpret and transform the data stored in the file into a suitable format.
Object hyperlinking Object hyperlinking is a neologism that refers to extending the Internet to objects and locations in the real world, creating an Internet of things. The current Internet does not extend beyond the electronic world.

Object incorporation Object incorporation is a linguistic valency-decreasing operation employed by a number of languages, in particular those with highly synthetic morphologies. Object incorporation is a kind of noun incorporation, more common than the similar process of subject incorporation.
Object invariant An object invariant, or representation invariant, is an object-oriented programming construct consisting of a set of invariant properties that remain uncompromised regardless of the state of the object. This ensures that the object will always meet predefined conditions, and that methods may, therefore, always reference the object without the risk of making inaccurate presumptions.
