A file is a data type that represents a collection of data stored on a disk or other storage device. A file can have a name, an extension, a size, and other attributes. A file can contain any kind of data, such as text, images, audio, video, etc. A file can be opened, read, written, closed, deleted, or moved by a program. An object is a data type that represents an instance of a class, which is a blueprint for creating objects. An object can have properties, which are variables that store data, and methods, which are functions that perform actions on the object. An object can interact with other objects by sending and receiving messages. An object can inherit properties and methods from its parent class, or override them with its own definitions.
