#167 Instance Variables and Attributes

In the context of object-oriented programming, what do we call the characteristics that describe an object?

• Objects

• Classes
• Methods
• Attributes

How are attributes represented in Java?

• As methods

• As instance variables

• As static variables

• As constants

What is the definition of instance variables in Java?

• Variables that are shared across all objects of a class

• Variables defined in a class that represent attributes of an object

• Variables that can only store primitive data types

• Local variables that are defined within methods

What happens when we create an object of a class with instance variables?

• The object shares instance variables with other objects

• The object gets its own copy of the instance variables

• The instance variables are automatically deleted

• The instance variables become static

Based on the video's explanation, which statement best describes the relationship between classes and instance variables?

• Classes can only have one instance variable

•  Instance variables define the behavior of a class

• Classes provide a template for objects, including their instance variables

• Instance variables are independent of classes
