Chapters 2 to 5 have introduced the lower level features of the Eiffel language. The reader should now have enough grasp of the language to return to the basic ideas of object-orientation introduced in chapter 1. This chapter explores the relationship between classes and objects, introduces the Eiffel facilities for data hiding, and discusses issues of memory allocation, object copying and object comparison.
