Java class Keyword

❮ Java Keywords

Example

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello World");
  }
}

Definition and Usage

The class keyword is used to create a class.

Every line of code that runs in Java must be inside a class. A class should always start with an uppercase first letter, and the name of the java file must match the class name.

A class is like an object constructor. See the example below to see how we can use it to create an object.
