Java_OOPS

A class in Java is a blueprint for creating objects, containing fields, methods, constructors, and nested classes. An object is an instance of a class that has state (data), behavior (functionality), and identity (unique ID). The 'new' keyword is used to allocate memory for objects at runtime in the heap memory area.

What is a class in Java?

A class is a group of objects which have common properties. It is a template or


blueprint from which objects are created. It is a logical entity.
It can't be physical.

A class in Java can contain:

Fields
Methods
Constructors
Blocks
Nested class and interface

class class_name
{
field;
method;
}

What is an Object?
------------------
An entity that has state and behavior is known as an object e.g., chair, bike,
marker, pen, table, car, etc. It can be physical or logical (tangible and
intangible).
The example of an intangible object is the banking system.

State: represents the data (value) of an object.


Behavior: represents the behavior (functionality) of an object such as deposit,
withdraw, etc.
Identity: An object identity is typically implemented via a unique ID. The value of
the ID is not visible to the external user. However, it is used internally by the
JVM to identify each object uniquely.

For Example, Pen is an object. Its name is Reynolds; color is white, known as its
state. It is used to write, so writing is its behavior.

An object is an instance of a class. A class is a template or blueprint from which


objects are created. So, an object is the instance(result) of a class.

Object Definitions:
------------------
An object is a real-world entity.
An object is a runtime entity.
The object is an entity which has state and behavior.
The object is an instance of a class.

Instance variable in Java


------------------------
A variable which is created inside the class but outside the method is known as an
instance variable.
Instance variable doesn't get memory at compile time.
It gets memory at runtime when an object or instance is created. That is why it is
known as an instance variable.

Method in Java
-------------
In Java, a method is like a function which is used to expose the behavior of an
object.
Advantage of Method
Code Reusability
Code Optimization

new keyword in Java


-------------------
The new keyword is used to allocate memory at runtime. All objects get memory in
Heap memory area.
