You still have: The object is an instance of an instance of an instance ad infinitum.
A constructor initializes the value of a variable.
An object instance is a dynamically allocated object variable.
A type (or class) comprises a set of (object) values and their associated operations (or methods).
At any given instant in time, a variable has a value (sometimes called a state) and can have different values at different times. Received on Fri Jun 14 2002 - 22:51:01 CEST
