## Constructing Objects

- An object is a value that can be created, stored and manipulated.
- Every object in C++ must belong to a class.
- A class is a data type (like `int` or `double`) that is programmer defined.
- The text contains a `Time`, `Employee`, and 4 shape classes for us to learn to work with classes.
  - Remember, these are programmer defined and not part of standard C++.
