Concept definition edit
[Discuss what a class is. This will be, I suspect, a part of the overall object oriented information here on the wiki]A class, in object orientation parlance, an abstract description of the executable actions and type of data and state that an object instantiation of said class will have.A class can consist of state representation, [data], and executable code such as initialization, cleanup, and operations (frequently called methods) that the object can invoke.Yuck - don't like that definition!DKF: I like to think of a class as being the [type] of one or more objects, as well as a [factory] for those objects. Not all OO systems uses classes though (e.g. SELF uses prototypical objects).
Feel free to add your own definition.
