I need a concise definition of the state of an object in object-oriented programming (for a paper).For about half of a day I searched for a paper that I can cite on this topic, but I couldn't find one. All the papers I found were mostly general papers on object-oriented programming and they didn't define the state of an object.I am unsure, but my best guess is something like:The state of an object is defined by the state of the instance variables of the object.I am searching for a definition of the state of an object and/or a reference on the topic.(btw, could I refer to the concept as object state or is this uncommon?)
