- embedded (object):
- An object that is stored as an attribute of another object.
- shallow copy:
- To copy the contents of an object, including any references to embedded objects; implemented by the
copy
function in thecopy
module. - deep copy:
- To copy the contents of an object as well as any embedded objects, and any objects embedded in them, and so on; implemented by the
deepcopy
function in thecopy
module. - object diagram:
- A diagram that shows objects, their attributes, and the values of the attributes.
