Some programming languages are object oriented, which means that they’re centered around the concept of an object. In code, an object is a “thing” that can hold data and do stuff, and you can create many of. There might be a “user” object in your app’s code, where users can do things like update their profiles, and also contain data like their preferences or the last time they logged in. Think about it more as a philosophy and style of programming more than anything else.
