Every computer programm which is executed, generates a process in memory. A process particularly consists of the instruction pointer, the process register, the code segment, the data segment, the stack segment and the heap.
When creating objects of a class, memory of the stack and/or heap is allocated for each instantiation.
But no memory of the stack or heap is used for the definition of a class.
When we talk about memory allocation, we say âmemoryâ, but mean stack and/or heap.
