Class (computer science)
In object-oriented programming, a class is a programming language construct used to group related fields and methods.
A class is a cohesive package that consists of a particular kind of metadata. It describes the rules by which objects behave; these objects are referred to as instances of that class. A class specifies the structure of data (a.k.a. properties, fields, attributes, data members) within each instance as well as methods (functions) (a.k.a. behaviors) which manipulate the data of the object and perform tasks. A class is the most specific type of an object in relation to a specific layer. A class may also have a representation (metaobject) at runtime, which provides runtime support for manipulating the class-related metadata.
