What is the difference between a class and an object?

The difference between a class and an object is very simple a class is a template for objects. A class contains objects, methods, constructors, destructors. While an object is a member of the class or an instance of the class. for ex:-

#include

using namespace std;

class car

{

public:

string color;

int numgears;

int engine capacity_cc;

bool ispetrol;

car (string color, int numgears, int engine capacity_cc, bool ispetrol)

{

this->color=color;

this->numgears=numgears;

this->capacity_cc=capacity_cc;

this->ispetrol=ispetrol;

}

};

int main ()

{

car volvo = new car ("red",6,2500, false);

return 0;

}

In the example we have class car and it's object is volvo.
