At that time, you can prepare and create blueprints such as "what kind of characteristics do you have?" And "what kind of operation do you want?"
The concepts needed to create a new kind of value are "classes" </ b> and "instances" </ b>.
The source of the value. You can define common rules for values. The rules defined here are common "attributes" and "processes (methods)" </ b>.
The advantage of using classes is that they are easier to develop, manage, and maintain by grouping common information and separating individual information for each piece of data.
A class is, for example, a blueprint in the manufacture of a car, and the value produced from it is a car. Since the class is just a blueprint, it has no entity and cannot be treated as data by itself. </ b>
The class is defined as follows.
class class name
#Definition of variables and methods
end
The rule is that the class name starts with a half-width uppercase letter. </ b> (Example) User, Group, etc.
Instances are created by executing new methods </ b> that can be used by the class.
The usage is as follows.
#Here, an instance is created and assigned to a variable.
Variable name=name of the class.new
Basically, as described above, the created instance is assigned to a variable and reused. This is so that you can add data and execute methods after you instantiate.
Create an instance by actually specifying the class name below
class Car
end
fire_truck = Car.new
You have now created an instance from a class called "Car" and assigned it to a variable called "fire_truck".
