Identity (object-oriented programming)

In object-oriented programming, object-oriented design and object-oriented analysis, the identity of an object is its being distinct from any other object, regardless of the values of the objects' properties. Having identity is a fundamental property of objects.

This is closely related to the philosophical concept of identity.
