Class

 Definition: A class is like a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines what
attributes (data) and methods (functions) the objects created from it will have.
 Example: Think of a class as a recipe for making a cake. The recipe tells you the
ingredients (attributes) and the steps (methods) needed to make the cake.

Object

 Definition: An object is an instance of a class. It represents a specific item created from


the class blueprint and has its own set of attribute values.
 Example: Using the cake analogy, if the class is the recipe, then an object is the actual
cake you bake using that recipe. Each cake (object) can have different flavors (attribute
values), but they all follow the same recipe (class).

Visual Example
cpp
Copy code
class Dog { // Class (blueprint)
public:
string breed; // Attribute
void bark() { // Method
cout << "Woof!" << endl;
}
};

int main() {
Dog myDog; // Object (instance of Dog class)
myDog.breed = "Golden Retriever"; // Set attribute
myDog.bark(); // Call method
return 0;
}

Summary

 Class: A blueprint for creating objects.


 Object: A specific instance created from a class.
