He was the first one to come up with the concept of a class of fishes and a class of birds. All objects, despite being unique, are part of a class and share common behavior.

If it is not specified, it will default to public; this means anyone can create objects of this class. The name of the class follows the keyword and the curly braces contain the class body where the behavior and data are defined: fields,...
