A Java object is a member (also called an instance) of a Java class. Each object has an identity, a behavior and a state. The state of an object is stored in fields (variables), while methods (functions) display the object's behavior. Objects are created at runtime from templates, which are also known as classes How to call
To call an object's method, simply append the method name to an object reference with an intervening '. ' (period), and provide any arguments to the method within enclosing parentheses. If the method does not require any arguments, just use empty parentheses
Creating an Object
Declaration − A variable declaration with a variable name with an object type.
Instantiation − The 'new' keyword is used to create the object.
Initialization − The 'new' keyword is followed by a call to a
constructor. This call initializes the new object.
In Java, we can create Objects in various ways:
Using a new keyword.
Using the newInstance () method of the Class class.
Using the newInstance() method of the Constructor class.
Using Object Serialization and Deserialization.
Using the clone() method.
How to save
Saving object in java can be accomplished in a number of ways, the most prominent of which is to serialize the object - saving it to a file and reading the object using an ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream, respectively. Serialization is a fantastic advantage to using java.
