I'm trying to learn Python, and know C++. I have a slight confusion
regarding the meaning of "object" in python. Here's what I've concluded so
far:
When we say "object" in C++, it means an instance of a class.
e.g.
class x{.......};
x ob1; // here ob1 is an object.
but, for;
int x; // x is NOT an object, it is a *variable*
while in python, from what i've understood so far,
>>> x=5
implies that there's a memory allocation (called object) that holds the
value 3, and "x" is the variable (or name) that is used to refer to it.
Further, in python, *everything *is an object, while in C++,
only*instances of a class
* are called objects.
So does the term *Object * change its meaning when we shift the context from
C++ to python?? This is a little confusing, can someone clear it up??
