Classes and Objects in Java

Last Updated : 17 Nov, 2025

In Java, classes and objects form the foundation of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). They help model real-world entities and organize code in a structured way.

  • A class is a blueprint used to create objects that share common properties and behavior.
  • An object is an instance of a class. It represents a specific entity created from the class template.

For Example, Dog is a class, Tommy is an object of that class.
