What is class?

Class is like putting your toys into groups based on what they are, cars go together, blocks go together, and dolls go together.

Imagine you have a big box full of different toys: cars, blocks, and dolls. When you play, it's easier to find all the cars if they’re in one place. That’s like how class works in programming, it helps organize things so we can use them more easily.

How class groups things

Think of a car as something that moves on wheels. A truck is also a kind of car, even though it's bigger and carries more stuff. So both cars and trucks can be part of the same class, like “vehicles that move on wheels.”

Now imagine you have a toy box with just cars in it. When you want to play, all your cars are ready, no need to dig through blocks or dolls.

Why we use class

Using class is like having labeled boxes for your toys. Each label tells you what kind of toy is inside, cars, blocks, or dolls. That makes it easier to find and use them when you want to play, just like how class helps computers organize things better.
