There are many differences between object and class. Some differences between object and class are given below:
Class | Object |
---|---|
Class is used as a template for declaring and creating the objects. | An object is an instance of a class. |
When a class is created, no memory is allocated. | Objects are allocated memory space whenever they are created. |
The class has to be declared first and only once. | An object is created many times as per requirement. |
A class can not be manipulated as they are not available in the memory. | Objects can be manipulated. |
A class is a logical entity. | An object is a physical entity. |
It is declared with the class keyword | It is created with a class name in C++ and with the new keywords in Java. |
Class does not contain any values which can be associated with the field. | Each object has its own values, which are associated with it. |
A class is used to bind data as well as methods together as a single unit. | Objects are like a variable of the class. |
