How Can Objects Help Me?

While the uses of objects are virtually limitless, there are several common problems which they solve.

1. They can be used to easily save and restore complex configuration data such as preferences.
2. They can drastically reduce the use of process and interprocess variables by allowing you to place related data in one object instead of numerous variables.
3. They can be used to save and restore entire records with one call.
4. They can be used to store hierarchically structured data.
5. They can facilitate an object-oriented style of programming.
