Java Objects and Classes Overview

The document discusses objects and classes in Java programming. It defines objects as instances of classes that contain data fields and methods. Classes contain implementation details and interfaces for programmers. The document provides examples of built-in library classes in Java and how objects store state in data fields and exhibit behavior through methods. It also covers how to access class members and the use of the "this" keyword to refer to the current object.
