How are real world objects implemented/represented in software terms ?

The object is implemented in software terms as follows :

1. Characteristics/attributes are implemented through member variables or data items of the object.
2. Behaviour is implemented through member functions called methods.
3. Data and methods are encapsulated into one unit and given a unique name to give it identity.

Thus, a real world object is represented in software terms as a software bundle of variables and related methods.
