    Classes define the structure of objects and objects are instances of classes. A class contains attributes that define an object's state and methods that can be applied to objects. For example, the car class would have objects like specific Peugeot and Renault models as instances. While two instances of a class may share attributes, they are still considered separate, distinct objects, like two identical t-shirts.

    Object class and instance

    June 2014

    The concept of classes


    A class is the structure of an object, meaning the definition of all items that an object is made up
    of. An object is therefore the "result" of a class. In reality, an object is an instance of a class,
    which is why can use interchange the terms object or instance (or even occurrence).
    A class is made up of two parts:
    Attributes (often called member data): this is the data that refers to the object's state
    Methods (often referred to as member functions): these are functions that can be applied to
    objects
    If we have a class called car, the objects Peugeot 406 and Renault 18 will be instances of this
    class. There may also be other objects Peugeot 406, differentiated by their model number.
    Furthermore: two instances of a class may have the same attributes but may be considered
    separate distinct objects. In a real world scenario: two T-shirts may be identical, but they are
    however distinct from each other. However, if we mix them together it is impossible to distinguish
    one from the other.
