Subject: OO Thinking - First Attempt at building an object

Objective: store sales & units sold information by vendor, by year, by
month,  by class code.

In my nested data structured brain i see it like this

hash{vendor}{year}{month}[0..5][0..1]

0..5 = represent 6 different item classification codes
0..1 = represents qty, sales.

I keep trying to write the pseudo code for an object and keep ending up with
1 attribute that is the above data structure. Which kind of defeats the
purpose.

Maybe a nested data structure is really the way to go with this?
Or an object for each (vendor,year,month) that just increments or decrements
the values. So my attribute would just
be array_class[0..5][0..1].

Still seems messy and overcomplicated.

Thoughts?

Please don't write the class just help me sketch this out. My brain just is
not use to the whole OO thing :)

Paul
