andmeobjekt

An andmeobjekt, often translated as data object, is a fundamental concept in computing and information management. It represents a unit of information that is structured and has meaning. Think of it as a container for data that is organized in a way that allows it to be processed, stored, and retrieved. In object-oriented programming, an andmeobjekt is an instance of a class, possessing both data (attributes or properties) and behavior (methods or functions). These objects encapsulate related information, making code more modular and easier to manage. For example, a "customer" andmeobjekt might contain attributes like name, address, and purchase history, along with methods to update the address or calculate total spending. In databases, similar concepts exist, where records or rows can be viewed as instances of a more abstract data object representing an entity. The key characteristic of an andmeobjekt is that it bundles data and potentially operations on that data into a coherent, manageable unit, facilitating logical organization and manipulation of information.
