What Is a Class?

In the real world, you'll often find many individual objects all of the
same kind.
There may be thousands of other bicycles in existence, all of the same
make and model. Each bicycle was built from the same set of blueprints
and therefore contains the same components.
In object-oriented terms, we say that your bicycle is an instance of the class of objects known as bicycles.
A class is the blueprint from which individual objects are created.
The following
Bicycle
class is one possible implementation of a bicycle:
class Bicycle {
       int cadence = 0;
       int speed = 0;
       int gear = 1;
       void changeCadence(int newValue) {
            cadence = newValue;
       }
       void changeGear(int newValue) {
            gear = newValue;
       }
       void speedUp(int increment) {
            speed = speed + increment;   
       }
       void applyBrakes(int decrement) {
            speed = speed - decrement;
       }
       void printStates() {
            System.out.println("cadence:"+cadence+" speed:"+speed+" gear:"+gear);
       }
}
The syntax of the Java programming language will look new to you, but the design of this class is
based on the previous discussion of bicycle objects.
The fields cadence, speed, and gear represent the object's state,
and the methods (changeCadence, changeGear, speedUp etc.) define its interaction with the outside world.
You may have noticed that the Bicycle class does not contain a mainused in an application.
The responsibility of creating and using new Bicycle objects belongs to some other class in your application.
method.
That's because it's not a complete application; it's just the blueprint for bicycles that might be
Here's a
BicycleDemo
class that creates two separate Bicycle objects and invokes their methods:
class BicycleDemo {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // Create two different Bicycle objects
          Bicycle bike1 = new Bicycle();
          Bicycle bike2 = new Bicycle();
          // Invoke methods on those objects
          bike1.changeCadence(50);
          bike1.speedUp(10);
          bike1.changeGear(2);
          bike1.printStates();
          bike2.changeCadence(50);
          bike2.speedUp(10);
          bike2.changeGear(2);
          bike2.changeCadence(40);
          bike2.speedUp(10);
          bike2.changeGear(3);
          bike2.printStates();
     }
}
The output of this test prints the ending pedal cadence, speed, and gear for the
two bicycles:
cadence:50 speed:10 gear:2
cadence:40 speed:20 gear:3
