What is class in computer program language?

Answer 1

I am assuming that you would like the definition of the word "class" as used in Java and other OOP programming languages.

A class is like a blueprint for objects. Just like one blueprint can be used to make many houses, or one stamp can make many prints, one class can make many objects through the use of the new keyword.

In Java, you would define a class using the keyword classfollowed by the name of the class, followed by the body of the class. For example:

public class Programmer extends Person implements Nerd {

public void drinkCoffee(Coffee c) { // code here... }

public Program writeCode(Spec spec) { // more code here...}

}

In the Programmer class, there are 2 methods, or procedures: drinkCoffee and writeCode.
