Class Creation Syntax

The core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) are classes and objects. Everything in OOP is built around these two elements, forming the foundation for writing modular and reusable code.

Class is a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines a set of attributes and methods that will be common to all instances of that class;
Object is an instance of a class. It is a concrete realization of it, with specific values for its attributes.

Class Syntax

Creating a class is a straightforward process. A class is defined using the class keyword followed by the class name and a set of curly braces { }. To create an object use the class name as the data type for the variable.

main


              123456789101112
            
#include <iostream>
#include <typeinfo>

class Student {

};

int main()
{
    Student student;
    std::cout << "Type of student: " << typeid(student).name();
}

Everything was clear?
