+% Trait Objects
+
+<small>There is a new edition of the book and this is an old link.</small>
+
+> Trait objects combine the data made up of the pointer to a concrete object with the behavior of the methods defined in the trait.
+> A trait defines behavior that we need in a given situation.
+> We can then use a trait as a trait object in places where we would use a concrete type or a generic type.
