An entity is a real-world object, concept, or even that can be distinctly identified. It can be a physical object like a car or a person, or an abstract concept like an order or a bank account. The key is that it is something that we can refer to individually and distinguish from other things.
In a database, a customer, a product, an order, and a transaction. These represent data about real-world entities. In programming, an object, a class, or a variable. These are representations of entities within a computer program. In philosophy, an entity is something that exists, whether physical or abstract. This is a broader and more nuanced definition.
The concept of entity is used in many fields to denote something that is distinct and identifiable, allowing for organization, classification, and manipulation of information. The specific meaning might be slightly different depending on the context, but the core idea remains consistent.
