Instance (computer science)

In computer science, an instance or token (from metalogic and metamathematics) is a specific occurrence of a software element that is based on a type definition.¹${}^{:\mathrm{1.3.2}}$ When created, an occurrence is said to have been instantiated, and both the creation process and the result of creation are called instantiation.
