- Classes and objects are separate but related concepts. Every object belongs to a class and every class contains one or more related objects.
-
A Class is static. All of the attributes of a class are fixed before, during, and after the execution of a program. The attributes of a class don't change.
-
The class to which an object belongs is also (usually) static. If a particular object belongs to a certain class at the time that it is created then it almost certainly will still belong to that class right up until the time that it is destroyed.
-
An object on the other hand has a limited lifespan. Objects are created and eventually destroyed. Also during that life lifetime, the attributes of the objects may undergo significant change.
