What is a class?

A class is a user‑defined structure that groups data and functions together. By creating instances (objects), these members can be accessed and used. It represents shared characteristics of a particular object type.

Example

Car is a class. Different cars may have different names and brands, but all share common properties like four wheels, speed limit, and mileage.
