The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Thinking in C++;Bruce Eckel

Object is unit of storage in memory that has type, size and address so it can be referred to, copied, deleted, moved or act upon; it can send/receive messages (using functions).

Class is programming abstraction of real life problem. Class is a design template and design concept of a compound type that has to be put to work by assigning memory space for variables and function code. Once class is instantiated in the memory it becomes object (or objects with multiple instances or through inheritance, polymorphism etc.). At this moment class transitions from programming abstraction to reality (object) because it executes on the hardware for the desired effect.
