Classes and Objects

Classes and objects

In object-oriented programming, a class is like a blueprint, or description, of something. Let’s take the concept of a person as an example. How can we describe a person? We can start to make a list of things that apply to all people. A person has the following attributes:

• Name
• Age
• Sex
• Height
• Weight
• Hair color
• Eye color
• Shoe size
• Nationality
• Address
• Telephone number
