constructor

Question

"Now, upon the creation of an object of type Person, the constructor is automatically called."
why is it called type Person?
For nearly 2 years i've known it to be as "class" Person in Java.

Answer 1

IIRC in C# all types are class based (cmiiw). And as you might be aware of, a class is also a type, a user defined type, to be more precisely. Maybe the sentence can come clearer if it was written as "instance of class Person"?
