state (of an object)
</H1>
<P>
Object state refers to the data that an object holds. For example, if
an object holds one integer, that integer holds the objects state. It
is assumed that instance methods modify or use an object's state in
some way. If a method does not use the object state in any way, it should
probably be a static method.
