An object is a unit that groups a data structure ([[instance_variable|instance variables]]) and the operations ([[method|methods]]) that can use or affect that data.

Objects are the principal building blocks of object-oriented programs.

== Anonymous Object ==

An object of unknown class. The [[interface]] to an anonymous object is published through a [[protocol]] declaration.

== Class Object ==

An object that represents a [[class]] and knows how to create new instances of the class. Class objects are created by the compiler, lack [[instance_variable|instance variables]], and can't be statically typed, but otherwise behave like all other objects.

As the receiver in a message expression, a class object is represented by the class name.

== Factory Object ==

Same as a class object.

== Remote Object ==

An object in another application, one that's a potential receiver for a remote message.
