Instances

Once you've declared a class, you can make an instance of that class by saying new followed by that class's name and ().1

class Muppet {

}

void main() {
    Muppet kermit = new Muppet();
    System.out.println(kermit);
}

Very similarly to arrays, the output from printing an instance of a class might seem like gibberish (Main$Muppet@1be6f5c3). You will learn how to make it nicer later.

I haven't used it in many code samples thus far, but if you remember var this is one of the times where it can be aesthetically convenient. var kermit = new Muppet();
