Java Classes & Objects Explained | From Blueprint to Working Code (Beginner OOP Tutorial)
Move from theory to implementation by learning how classes and objects work in Java. This tutorial walks you through creating your own class, instantiating objects, and understanding how each object maintains its own independent state.
You’ll also get an introduction to constructors, which simplify object initialization and improve code clarity—an essential step toward writing scalable applications.
--------------------------------------------------

Key Insights
A class defines structure, an object holds actual data
Each object has its own separate memory and state
Changing one object does not impact others
Constructors enforce consistent object creation
Classes combine data (fields) and behavior (methods)

Practice Challenge
Create a Car class
Fields: brand, speed
Method: displayDetails()
Instantiate two objects with different values
Print outputs to verify object independence
