Classification
One way to identify objects is by classifying them according to
types or categories.
The term classifying means arranging objects in classes or
groups according to shared characteristics. For example,
the class of ‘metals’ includes ferrous metals and non-ferrous
metals and each of these subgroups is also a class in its own
right, having shared characteristics.
