CFCs allow you to create variables that are objects - that contain both data and code, and can manipulate their own data through the code they contain. This allows what many people consider a more intuitive way to write applications. For example, in a shopping cart application, you could store the cart data as simply data within a variable, or you could have a cart object that contains the data, but also contains methods to calculate totals, add and remove items, and so on. This allows you to more easily separate various kinds of logic within your programs in useful ways. The best way to answer your question would really be to advise you to read about object-oriented programming, I think.
