Identity (object-oriented programming)

In object-oriented programming, analysis and design, object identity is the fundamental property of every object that it is distinct from other objects. Objects have identity – are distinct – even when they are otherwise indistinguishable, i.e. equal. In this way, object identity is closely related to the philosophical meaning.
