What is an Instance in java?

Posted in: ,, Instance refers to the copy of the object at a particular time whereas object refers to the memory address of the class.


The new operator instantiates a class by allocating memory for a new object and returning a reference to that memory.
Note: The phrase "instantiating a class" means the same thing as "creating an object." When you create an object, you are creating an "instance" of a class, therefore "instantiating" a class.
