  • Subject: Instantiation question
  • From: "Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2001 08:51:34 -0600

What does the following statement do in java:

Student show = new Student();

Student is a class that has methods that returns info like studentId.  So I
have a method named getStudentId() that returns an int.

In my program I reference the method getStudentId() as show.getStudentId
after I do the above instantiation.  Why do I have to do this vs. doing
something like Student.getStudentId?

Does my question make sense?  I didn't want to include the whole programs as
attachments.
