A class is created by use of the keyword class.
The general form of a class definition that contains only instance variables and methods:
class classname {
// declare instance variables
access type var1;
access type var2;
// ...
access type varN;
// declare methods
access ret-type method1(parameters) {
// body of method
}
access ret-type method2(parameters) {
// body of method
}
// ...
access ret-type methodN(parameters) {
// body of method
}
}
The general form for declaring an instance variable is shown here:
access type var-name;
access specifies the access,
type specifies the type of variable, and
var-name is the variable's name.
To access these variables, you will use the dot (.) operator.
The dot operator links the name of an object with the name of a member.
The general form of the dot operator is shown here:
object.member
You can use the dot operator to access both instance variables and methods.
