Object Variable Values

An object variable can refer to data of any type. The value you store in an object variable is kept elsewhere in memory, while the variable itself holds a pointer to the data.

You can use the *TypeOf operator to determine whether an object variable currently refers to a specific data type. The *TypeOf and *Is operators evaluate to True if the run-time type of the operand is derived from or implements the specified type.

You can declare and use an array of Object variables. This is useful when you need to handle a variety of data types and object classes. All the elements in an array must have the same declared data type. Declaring this data type as Object allows you to store objects and class instances alongside other data types in the array.
