What is an object in oops concept?

An object is an entity having a specific identity, specific characteristics and specific behavior . Taking a car as an example of an object, it has characteristics like colour, model, version, registration number, etc. It has behaviours like start the engine, stop the engine, accelerate the car, apply the brakes, etc.

In object-oriented programming (OOP), objects are the things you think about first in designing a program and they are also the units of code that are eventually derived from the process .

An object stores its state in fields (variables in some programming languages) and exposes its behavior through methods (functions in some programming languages). Methods operate on an object’s internal state and serve as the primary mechanism for object-to-object communication.
