Difference between instantiation and initialization objects

[sureshreddy puli]

Please tell me the difference between instantiation of an object and initialization of an object with simple example.

Hi sureshreddy. You won't learn as much if I just tell you the answer. Instantiation is the creation of an instance, ie an object. Initialization is what it says, the setting of initial values. Have a look at the discussions of those two topics in the materials you are learning from. Then you can post your explanation and example, and someone will tell you if your answer is correct.

Instantiation: The mechanism whereby objects are created from a class description.
Example: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/faculty/bina/java/java/sld015.htm

Initialization: This is the value assigned to a variable when it first defined.
