Document Summary
Account class with an instance variable, a set method and a get method. Most instance-variable declarations are preceded with the keyword private, which is an access modifier. Variables or methods declared with access modifier private are accessible only to methods of the class in which they"r(cid:23464) (cid:23463)(cid:23464)(cid:23462)lar(cid:23464)(cid:23463). Parameters are declared in a comma-separated parameter list, which is located inside the parentheses that follow the method name in the method declaration. Each parameter must specify a type followed by a variable name. Account test class that creates and uses an object of class account. A class that creates an object of another class, then calls the object"s methods, is a driver class. Instantiating an object keyword new and constructors. A class instance creation expression begins with keyword new and creates a new object. A constructor is similar to a method but is called implicitly by the new operator to initialize an object"s instance variables at the time the object is created.
