[NCLUG] programming question

[mike cullerton]

hey folks, hope the day is treating you well.

i've been using objects in some of my programs lately and am wondering about
resources and tradeoffs.

say i have a user object maintaining user data. i also have some functions
for allowing a user to register. i can add these functions to the user
object, create a new object that extends the user object or create a new
separate object.

so, what are the tradeoffs involved here?

thanks,
mike
