title: Core Data - Managed object question
body: <p>I have 2 basic questions regarding Core Data;</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>What exactly is a managed object -- Is it equivalent to 1 instance of a class. For example, if there is an entity called Shape which has attributes like no of sides &amp; color and if there are 5 entries displayed in a table, does it mean there are 5 managed objects each with attributes no. of sides &amp; color. I am a bit confused about this basic concept.</p></li>
  <li><p>What exactly is the relationship between Fetched Results Controller (FRC) and a table view? I know the delegate methods, but how exactly is the table view impacted/related to FRC ?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Any basic examples will be really useful. Thank you.</p>
