object

Don't use object as a synonym for item or thing. Instead, refer to a specific object.

For example, in object-oriented programming, an object is an instance of a class that contains both methods and data and is treated as one entity. Similarly, in COM-based technologies, an object is a combination of code and data that implements one or more interfaces. In assembly language, object refers to the object module, which contains data that has been translated into machine code.
