difference between data object and data structure?

I cannot get it... I am kind of newbie in OOP

Data Structures are simply structures

Code:

---

struct r{
    int a;
    char b;
} rstruct;

Data Objects

Well a class is as much a "data structure" as a structure by name - they are in all ways besides default access privileges the same.
