Java Classes and Objects. Introduction to Java Classes A class is nothing but a blueprint or a template for creating different objects which defines its properties and behaviors. Java class objects exhibit the properties and behaviors defined by its class. A class can contain fields and methods to describe the behavior of an object. Methods are nothing but members of a class that provide a service for an object or perform some business logic. A class has the following general syntax: <class modifiers>class<class name><extends clause><implements clause>{ // Dealing with Classes (Class body)<field declarations (Static and Non-Static)><method declarations (Static and Non-Static)><Inner class declarations><nested interface declarations><constructor declarations><Static initializer blocks>} Below is an example showing the Objects and Classes of the Cube class that defines 3 fields namely length, breadth and height.

Examples and practices described in this page don't take advantage of improvements introduced in later releases and might use technology no longer available. See Java Language Changes for a summary of updated language features in Java SE 9 and subsequent releases. See JDK Release Notes for information about new features, enhancements, and removed or deprecated options for all JDK releases. The Java Tutorials are practical guides for programmers who want to use the Java programming language to create applications.
They include hundreds of complete, working examples, and dozens of lessons. Groups of related lessons are organized into "trails".
