Glossary Java / Term

class

In the Java programming language, a type that defines the implementation of a particular kind of object. A class definition defines instance and class variables and methods, as well as specifying the interfaces the class implements and the immediate superclass of the class. If the superclass is not explicitly specified, the superclass will implicitly be Object.

Classes are usually first defined and then instantiated using the new operator. Also see anonymous class and abstract class.
