🧱 What is a Class in Java?

A class is like a blueprint for creating objects (real-world-like things in code).

Think of it like this:

• A class defines what an object is (its properties) and what it can do (its methods).

• An object is an actual thing created based on that blueprint.

  🔍 Simple Example:

    javaCopyEdit// This is a class
    public class Dog {
        String name;
        int age;
  
        // Method (behavior)
        void bark() {
            System.out.println(name + " says Woof!");
        }
    }
