Class and object in c++

Introduction to C++ Classes
and Objects
The classes are the most important feature
of C++ that leads to Object Oriented
programming. Class is a user defined data
type, which holds its own data members
and member functions, which can be
accessed and used by creating instance
of that class.

The variables inside class definition are
called as data members and the functions
are called member functions.

example:
Class of birds, all birds can fly and they all
have wings and beaks. So here flying is a
behavior and wings and beaks are part of
their characteristics. And there are many
different birds in this class with different
names but they all posses this behavior
and characteristics.

Similarly, class is just a blue print, which
declares and defines characteristics and
behavior, namely data members and
member functions respectively. And all
objects of this class will share these
characteristics and behavior.

Objects of Classes
Objects are instances of class, which
holds the data variables declared in
class and the member functions work
on these class objects. Each object
has different data variables.

Objects are initialized using special class
functions called Constructors.
And whenever the object is out of its
scope, another special class member
function called Destructor is called, to
release the memory reserved by the
object.

Example
class Abc
{
int x;
void display()
{
// some statement
}
};
int main()
{
Abc obj; // Object of class Abc created
}
