Difference between Object and identifier.

Question

hey all i have a doubt lets look here:

Scanner fu = new Scanner(System.in);

so fu is an object of Scanner class right?
but some people also called fu is identifier here?

So I'm wondering is there any difference or not?

I'm all confused please clear it out.

Answer 1

@Nirmal but String is an object in java, and i though println is a method of printStream.

Answer 3

Object is the instance of a class whereas
Identifiers are the names of variables, methods, classes, packages and interfaces.

here fu is an object of scanner class and not an identifer but Scanner itself is an identifier
