Question

What is a Class and Object in C++?

Can we say that a Class is an Object?

Answer 1

An object is some data, which has an address in run-time memory.

There are different types of object (e.g. int, float, etc.). You can create user-defined types, called 'classes'.

For example, I can define Dog as a class ...

class Dog {};

... and then create several objects, each of which is one instance of that class ...

Dog fido;
Dog spot;
