Objects of a class

• An object is a piece of data having a class data type
• A class is declared, an object is defined
• In a program there can only be one class with a given name, but several objects of the same class
• Example:
  

  TimeStamp theTimeStamp; // declare an object
  theTimeStamp.update(); // call some methods
  long theTime = theTimeStamp.get();
  std::cout « theTime « std::endl;
