What is an object in Java?

Question

I'm trying to understand what an object in Java is. What does the syntax look like?

Answer 1

An element with properties .

Answer 2

In Java everything is an object as every object at some point extends "Object" class.

Look at it like this. You have a man and he got hands and legs and head. These are little objects in a bigger object.
By creating and defining objects you can create a hierarchy for big data structures.
