Document Summary
Instance fields belong to a specific instance of a class: class may also have instance methods, when you call an instance method, it performs an operation on a specific instance of the class, static members. Private static int instancecount = 0: a static field is created by placing the key word static after the access specifier and before the field"s data type. We have explicitly initialized the instancecount field with the value 0. Kilometers = metric. milestokilometers(10. 0): this statement calls the milestokilometers method, passing the value 10. 0 as an argument. If you want to be able to compare the objects of a given class, you should always write an equals method for the class: section 6 methods that copy objects. Computer programming 0007: concept: you can simplify the process of duplicating objects by equipping a class with a method that returns a copy of an object, ex:
