What is a Class in Programming?

robot. The class would be the instructions on how to build the robot, what features it should have (like arms, legs, or a voice), and what it can do (like walk or talk). But the class itself isn’t the robot—it’s just the plan. You use that plan to make real robots, or in programming, to create objects.

Each object made from a class can have its own special details, just like how each robot can be different. For example, if you have a class for robots, one robot might be blue, while another is red, but both robots will follow the same basic plan from the class.

So, a class in programming helps organize things in a way that makes it easier for the computer to understand what to do. It’s an important part of creating programs that work smoothly!
