Classes: - One Class Usually Represents One Type of Object

This document discusses classes in Java and provides examples of using classes. It defines a Vehicle class with fields for passengers, fuel capacity, and fuel consumption. It then shows examples of creating Vehicle objects, assigning values to fields, and calculating ranges. It adds a range method to the Vehicle class to display the range. The key points are: 1) A class represents an object type and can contain fields and methods. 2) Examples create Vehicle objects and assign field values to calculate vehicle ranges. 3) A range method is added to the Vehicle class to display each vehicle's range.

Classes

• One class usually represents one type of


object
– May contain its own member variables
– May contain its own methods to operate on the
member variables
• Usually one class is defined in one Java file
• In the entire program exactly one class
should contain a main method
Vehicle class
/* A program that uses the Vehicle class.

Call this file VehicleDemo.java


*/
class Vehicle {
int passengers; // number of passengers
int fuelCapacity; // fuel capacity in litres
int kmperlitre; // fuel consumption in kilometer
per litre
}
