What is the meaning of an object in Java programming?

Answer 1

An object is a instance (an actual sample) of a class; For example, if we have a class Car like this:

public class Car{

int horsepower;

String color;

public Car(int hp, int color){

this.horsepower = hp;

this.color = color;

}

}

Then an actual Car is create when we instantiate a Car with the 'new' operator:

Car ferrari = new Car(660, "red"); // A car object

Car beetle = new Car(110, "pink"); // An other car object
