What is meant by a class in java programming language?

Answer 1

A class is a template of a type of object. This common paradigm in object-oriented programming (OOP) allows code that can be reused on slightly different, but common data to reduce code complexity. A template for a vehicle in a video game might store its velocity, fuel, damage, and so on. Most classes have no use until they are "instantiated", at which point the template is applied to an area of memory and it becomes an object. Some classes are never instantiated, as they help other classes, and some classes might have some functions that can be called without an instance (known as static methods). Classes allow for similar or related logic to be grouped together, allows memory to be protected from other code units also loaded in memory, and reduces overall programming complexity.
