What is an Object?

An Object is a package of algorithm (like Subroutine) and data (like Variable).  In Small Basic, an Object is illustrated with an orange cube / package icon:

Algorithm in an Object is called an Operation and is symbolized with a cog icon.  Data in an Object is called the Property and is symbolized with the painter's palette.

In Small Basic Editor, you can see IntelliSense pop-up in a window like the following image.  Small Basic Objects are listed with orange cube package icons in IntelliSense and in the Help Area on the right.
