-Commonly, when solving a problem, there are one or more steps that depend on whether certain conditions are met. Computer programs are built to solve problems, so they should have a structure that allows them to make decisions. In C++ the decision instructions (or conditionals) are structured using  `if`, `else`, `else if` or `switch`. Relational expressions and logical operators are common when handling decision structures. In today's laboratory experience you will practice the use of some decision structures by completing the design of a class called `Bird`. You will also review concepts related to objects.

 ##Classes and objects in C++
 
-An *object* es an entity that contains data and procedures to manipulate them. Similar to how each variable has a *type* of data associated to it, each object has a *class* associated that describes the properties of the objects: its data (*attributes*), and the procedures that can be used to manipulate its data (*methods*).

-To define and use an object it is not necessary to know all of the details about the methods of the object, but you must know how to create it and how to interact with it. The necessary  information is available in the class' documentation. Before creating objects of any class we should familiarize ourselves with its documentation. The documentation indicates, among other things, what entity is trying to be represented in the class, and its interface or methods available to manipulate the objects of the class.

 ###Methods of a class
 
-The methods of a class determine the actions that we can take on the objects of that class. The methods are similar to functions in the sense that they can receive parameters and return a result. An elementary way to know the methods of a class is reading de class declaration. For example, the following is a section of the declaration of the class `Bird` in the file `bird.h`.
