The General Form of a Class





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.
