Classes & Objects

A Java program consists of classes
A constructor creates a new object of a class
A method is a function defined within a class
A class can also contain data fields
The return type is the type of value that a method returns to the caller
Public: everyone outside the class can get at the method or data
Private: only members of the class can get at the method or data
Instance: each object of the class gets its own copy of the method or data
Static: the method or data is shared by the class instead of multiple copies
Overloaded methods are two or more methods with the same name but different signatures
