for example you have a class Owl and in some main method of main class you want to use an Owl instance you declaring for example
Owl owl = new Owl();
and you get an owl instance of Owl Class.
this instance can have defined values of fields and if you create next:
Owl nextOwl=new Owl();
and with some setter-methods you define nextOwl fields values you will have two innstances of one class with different values.
So - "new" is a spell to create a new instance of class

the new keyword means you are simply allocating memory to the program for instantiation.

the "new" keyword allocates block of memory without giving it a name:
int x; // allocate 4 bytes of memory for the variable named x
new int; // allocate a part of 4 bytes of memory without giving it a name;
⢠We can reach an object in memory using either it's name or it's address.
Hence, the seconde statement is useless since no one can reach that position in memory.
⢠How we can benefit of "new" ?
one of the benefits of using "new" is when we use pointers:
int *p=&x; // we can reach *p from the pointer p or directly by using it's name "x" (e.g) x=34 â *p=34
int *p=new int; // we can reach *p only from the pointer name; (e.g) *p=13;
// and this protects *p from being modified using x
