In computer science, components are basic functional units of a program which allow for rapid development. They usually have simple interfaces which allow the programmer to do powerful things without having to worry about the complexities of implementing the component's functionality.
Pre-packaged components (for Delphi or Java, for example) can be purchased or downloaded for free.
A standard way to implement a component is as a class object (object-oriented programming).
