Glossary Item Box

The Polls module creates and works with three kinds of data:

  • PollItem
  • QuestionItem
  • AnswerItem

PollItem represents a poll, QuestionItem represents the question in a poll, and AnswerItem is a possible answer to a given question in a poll. The PollItem object implements the IPollItem interface, the QuestionItem object implements the IQuestionItem interface, and the AnswerItem object implements the IAnswerItem interface. Since you will be working with the objects of IPollItem, IQuestionItem and IAnswerItem types, first take a look at a description of the three interfaces and their members.
