a class definition in java code example

Example 1: How to make a class in Java?

// Public creates avaliability to all classes/files
public class Object {
  // Instance of a variable per each class created
  public int a = 1;
  // Private restricts in local space (within these brackets)
  private int b = 5;
  
  // Defaults as public
  int c = 0;
  
  // Method Examples
  void setB(int B)
  {
  	b = B;
    // No return b/c 'void'
  }
  int getA()
  {
    return b;
    // Return b/c 'int' in front of method
  }
}

Example 2: classes in java

// this might help you understand how classes work
public class MathTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        class MathAdd {

            int num1;
            int num2;

            public int addNumbers() {

                int addThemUp = num1 + num2;
                return addThemUp;
            }
        }

        MathAdd addition = new MathAdd(); // create a new instance of the class

        // you can access variables from the class 
        addition.num1 = 10; 
        addition.num2 = 20;

        // and use the method from the class to add them up
        System.out.println(addition.addNumbers());

    }
}
