creation of new object

Moving to Java In General (Beginner)...

[A Kumar]

Suppose u have a class...

class MyClass{
...
..

}

Somewhere you have a piece of code where u create a object of this class...


Myclass myObject=new MyClass();

This step creates an isntnace of the class...i.e. it instantiates an object of the class-MyClass..

Hope u ge the point..

A class is basically a blueprint which u can use..., consider a class as a factory that will provide u with as many number of the blueprint as u need (which are called as objects)..., creating a object from a class is called instantiation.

U can instantiate a class by using the keyword new.

Please make the extra effort to write out words such as "you". The extra keystrokes won't cost much in the way of time, and the enhanced clarity will be appreciated by those communicating on a forum with international readership.
