The class definition consists of
  • a header line giving the class name, modifiers, possible subclass and interface structure
  • declarations (and possibly initializations) of class variables (aka instance variables)
  • declaration of a constructor method. This method has the same name as the class and does any initialization whenever an instance is created.
  • declarations of other methods.
