help for the following statement

[nitinm]

can please any one tell me what is the meaning of the below statement

1) Account acc;

2) Account acc = new Savings Account;

can the second statement be applied for abstract classes
as i have heared abstract classes cannot be instantiated but we can create objects:confused: :confused: :confused:

[ray|raven]

The first statement creates an object of the class Account.
The second one instantiates it;although i dont think the syntax is right.
Abstract classes can have objects created and not instantiated.
The second statement cant be used for abstract classes.

^^ Exactly.

BTW Creating an object is the same as instantiating a class.
and yea the 2nd statement should be
Account acc= new Account;
If I am not missing anything.

Wrong Syntax in 2nd statement
It must be "Account acc= new Account;"

Wrong ! :lol:

acc = new Account();

as acc has already been declared n we need to use the brackets to call the contructor :lol:
