Objects are instances of Classes which form a template to allow definition of objects of the
|
|
same type -- Classes are not objects
|
|
although one can define static or class
|
|
variables and methods which are shared
|
|
by all instances of a class
|
|
The data of an object are called instance
|
|
variables and they can be accessed for
|
|
read or write if they are made public
|
|
/* Movable Point Class */
|
public class mPoint {
-
public int x, y; /* Instance Variable */
-
public int dx = 1, dy = 1; /* More Instance Variables */
|
|
Better design is "data encapsulation"; instance variables are not accessed directly, but access to all necessary values is made via methods of the class.
