Perfect! Now that we have a main
method in our class, we’re ready to start using the Dog
class.
To use the Dog
class, we must create an instance of the Dog
class. An instance of a class is known as an object in Java.
The example below demonstrates how to create a Car
object:
class Car { int modelYear; public Car(int year) { modelYear = year; } public static void main(String[] args){ Car myFastCar = new Car(2007); } }
In the example above, we create a Car
object named myFastCar
. When creating myFastCar
, we used the class constructor and specified a value for the required int
parameter year
.
2007
is the model year of myFastCar
. Note that we declared the new object inside the main
method.

object and assign it to the variable spike
