Object-Oriented Programming

   So what is an object... simply put,  an object is a variable. But this variable is very special. A normal variable would be able to hold only one information. For example, in C++ programming, defining  "int x;" means you have a variable called "x" and it can hold one data type of the form integer.    

   This is the tricky part. Our special variable can hold more than one type of variable... something like a structure. So I can have a variable of "int x;" and "char y;" inside my variable. To access these variables, I simple just equate a = exam.x or a = exam.y, where exam is my object.    

  That's not all (otherwise it would be a structure in itself), it can also store "functions". So I can execute these functions, say, exam.ProcessGrades(score); which in this case, will execute ProcessGrades function which is pre-written inside the variable.    

  I hope this simplifies the understanding of objects. A few technical terms to get you moving:    

• Member Function - Function stored in the object
• Member Variable - Variables stored in the object
• Private - Member Variables or Functions that cannot be called as in the example above
• Public - Member Variables and Functions that can be called as in the example above (external calling)

By the way, I created this button as well... hehehe
