Fields and methods have different jobs in a class. Let’s break down what each one does:

• Fields:

  • Fields are like containers that hold important information about the object.
  • They can hold different types of data, like numbers, words, or even other objects.
  • Usually, fields are kept private, which means they are hidden from outside access to protect the data.

• Methods:

  • Methods are like little machines that carry out actions for the object.
  • They use the fields to change or work with the information stored in the object.
  • Methods can be either public, which means anyone can use them, or private, just for internal use.

In simple terms, fields keep the information safe, while methods do the work. This is a key part of how we create interactive classes!
