Class and
Object Concepts
in Java
Introduction
This presentation provides an overview
of class and object concepts in Java. We
will explore the fundamental concepts
of object-oriented programming and
how they are implemented in Java.
Understanding these concepts is
essential for building robust and
scalable Java applications.
What is a Class?
A class is a blueprint or template for
creating objects in Java. It defines the
properties (data) and behaviors
(methods) that objects of that class will
have. Classes are used to create multiple
instances of objects with similar
characteristics. They encapsulate data
and provide a clear interface for
interacting with objects.
What is an Object?
An object is an instance of a class. It
represents a specific entity or thing in
the real world. Objects have state
(data) and behavior (methods). They
can interact with other objects by
invoking their methods. In Java,
objects are created using the new
keyword followed by the class name
and constructor arguments.
