What is meant by the shape of data? structs, fields, members, classes, objects. OOP is such a rabbit hole. Must See: https://dev.to/tiffany/what-is-meant-by-a-shape-in-programming-263c

OK

In OOP, I suppose the shape of data is its structure, much like you learn in your first CS class.

A class is a blueprint on how to build, i.e. structure, a house or car, and an object is that thing you've built which is a result of that blueprint. methods and/or properties are types of house, for instance; a Row Home is a type of House which we have a class that is the blueprint for all the homes in that neighborhood etc. ^6b8591

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3141957/a-good-object-oriented-analogy

So, a blueprint is some structure of data, some disparate items we need to collect to build our house.

Just thinking this through so the [[#^3d8004]]
