Importance of classes and objects in Java

Objects are instances or references of a class. So we can call the methods and variables present in this class with the help of their objects. We cannot call methods and objects directly, we can only use them with the help of their objects. So first, we need to create objects for the class, and then we can call the method inside the main class.

Let's take a look at the previous example to explain this:

package coreJavaTraining;

public class Firstclass {

    public void getData()
    {
        System.out.println(" I am in method");
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        System.out.println("hi");
        System.out.println("hello world");
    }
}

Since the main block is already in the class, why do we need to create an object again for this class and call it?

The answer is that there is no way that the main block will come to know about the method outside it until and unless we create an object to call the method. There is an exception for that, which is the static variable, saying that the method is static. So, in general, accessing other methods is only possible with objects.
