Object-Oriented Terminology

Object: An encapulation of data with the methods that operate on that data. Objects are instances of classes.

Class: A scheme for one or more objects typically specifying named data members and methods.

Public members: data and function components of a class accessible outside of the class.

Private members: data and function components accessible only within methods of the class containing the members.
