  Class and instace is like cars and my minivan.  My van is an
instance of cars.

here's a little class:
------
class MyClass extends Object
{
  public MyClass(int i)
  {
    myNum = i;
  }

  public int getNumber()
  {
    return myNum;
  }

  private myNum;
}
------

  The class is just some code.  It doesn't do anything until you
instantiate it:

------
(other code)

MyClass aTest = new MyClass(3);
int x = aTest.getNumber();

(etc etc)
-------------

Above, aTest is an instance of MyClass.  You can't do
MyClass.getNumber; you have to operate on the instance of MyClass.


 Hope this helps
