Talk:Object (computer science)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This should be moved back to Object (object-oriented programming) for two reasons.
- It would be consistent with other topics uner OOP
- There are other examples of objects in computer science which do not strictly conform to the definition given in this article. e.g. the Old Object model of Visual Basic.
Sorry but this really doesn't make sense at all. -- Taku 07:03, Oct 13, 2003 (UTC)
personaly, i think it should all stay here, and a redirect from Object (object-oriented programming) to here. tooto 17:21, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Removed some material to avoid mis-attribution
When editing said page, Taku moved some items to Talk: and then signed his action. Unfortunately, unless you follow the edit history, it then becomes difficult to separate what he said from what he is signing.
Therefore, I deleted the material and left only the fact that he moved it from said page.
[edit] Is the sample source code mis-leading?
Isn't example in this hypothetical language a little bit mis-leading? Shouldn't Fido and Princess be declared of type Dog? Why not use something standard such as Java or C++ in the first place? --Esad 17:15, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Class-based only
This article on talks about class-based OOP. Wouter Lievens 12:30, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I know. That's a problem. -- Taku 18:45, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Circular links
Under the heading "Objects in Object-Oriented Programming", instantiating points a disambiguate page which leads you to Instance (programming) which is a redirect to Object (computer science). In the next para, Instance points to Instance (programming) which, as before, redirects you back to Object (computer science).
I know you OO types love being self-referential, but it doesn't work so well in a Wiki... Shermozle 15:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out. It's still a problem... —Pengo 11:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

- Now it appears to point to instantiation, which is a disambiguation page. I think I will remove this link altogether. --Spoon! 07:07, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Add some examples
Please add some examples to this article. --Gary King 02:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Best Quote Ever
"The God object is an example of an anti-pattern." I love it. Out there. I was trying to research programming languages and ended up feeling like I was looking into philosophy and theology. Anyway, I think that sentence would do well to include a brief decription of what is meant by an anti-pattern. You can click through to the link, but I think that the references in the article should be a bit more contained. It's a zinger of a sentence, but it refers to a very specific piece of knowledge that the article shouldn't assume the average reader has. Some minor explanation here would go a long way to make it a little bit less of a 'WTF?'-sounding statement. It almost comes across as a bit of sensationalism. Almost.
It is, however, a fascinating article. Kudos to those of you who put this thing together.
