2,631 PointsField is just another name used for variable. Object is something completley else and to understand it let's use an analogy. If you think of a car you have the enginge which is an object. The engine has many diffrernt functions like ignite and turn of the car. In the same way object in codes has different objects to perform different functions. Mark this answer if understood. : )
