What is instantiation OOP?
It is the creation of a new instance of an object, with respect to OOP.
Suppose we have a programming class called “Dog”. To instantiate this class we create a new object of type Dog. We would do something like this:
// this is instantiation
Dog myDog = new Dog();
// set properties of the dog
myDog.setName(“Fido”);
myDog.setAge(3);
myDog.setBreed(“Airedale”);
// other instantiation methods, if the constructor is overloaded
Dog bigDog = new Dog(“Rover”, 4, “Great Dane”);
