Create Objects

Lesson 8 of 12 in Coddy's Basics of Classes and Objects in Java course.

Now, to get the whole picture, let's learn about Objects!

As said before, object are instances of a class, and a class is a template for an object.

To create an object of a class, we use the new keyword:

MyClass myObj = new MyClass();

In the above example, we create an object called myObj of type class MyClass.
