We've seen how variables store information and how methods perform actions, but our programming toolkit is still somewhat limited. We need a way of creating a sort of super container that has its own variables and methods that can be referenced from the container itself; enter classes:
- Conceptually, a class holds related information, actions, and behaviors inside a single container. They can even communicate with each other.
- Technically, classes are data structures. They can contain variables, methods, and other programmatic information, all of which can be referenced when an object of the class is created.
- Practically, a class is a blueprint. It sets out the rules and regulations for any object (called an instance) created using the class blueprint.
A class all along
Before you wonder what a class actually looks like in C#, you should know that you've been working...
