Question

What is a Class and Object in C++?

Can we say that a Class is an Object?

Answer 1

A Class is like a blueprint, an object is like a house built from that blueprint.

You can have many houses with the same layout/floorplan (read class), but each is it's own instance (read object). Each has it's own owner, furniture, etc.

Note that there are also objects whose blueprint is not a class (e.g. integers).
