It sounds like you're asking about a class in Java!
A class is essentially a blueprint for creating
objects. It defines properties (variables) and behaviors (methods) that the objects created from
it will have.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how a basic class looks in Java:
Java Class Example
// Define a class named 'Car'
public class Car {
// Instance variables (properties)
String make;
String model;
int year;
// Constructor (a special method to initialize objects)
public Car(String make, String model, int year) {
this.make = make;
this.model = model;
this.year = year;
// Method to display car details
public void displayDetails() {
System.out.println("Car Make: " + make);
System.out.println("Car Model: " + model);
System.out.println("Car Year: " + year);
// Main method to run the program
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Creating an object (instance) of the Car class
Car myCar = new Car("Toyota", "Corolla", 2021);
// Calling the method to display car details
myCar.displayDetails();
Explanation:
1. Class Declaration:
public class Car {} – This defines a class named Car.
2. Instance Variables:
Inside the class, we have properties like make, model, and year which are specific to
each instance of the class.
3. Constructor:
The constructor public Car(String make, String model, int year) is used to initialize the
object with values when it’s created.
4. Method:
The method displayDetails() is used to print out information about the car.
5. Main Method:
The main method is where the program starts running. Here we create an instance of
the Car class (myCar) and then call its method displayDetails() to print the car's details.
Running the Program
When you run the program, you’ll see the following output:
Car Make: Toyota
Car Model: Corolla
Car Year: 2021
