Let's say we are making an app for the military. It is designed for use by senior officers to micromanage their troops in the battle. Among others, we would probably need a class to represent a soldier.
Here is real code for our hypothetical class. We call it a class implementation. Because the class is called Soldier, if we implement this for real, we would do so in a file called Soldier.java:
public class Soldier {
// Member variables
int health;
String soldierType;
// Method of the class
void shootEnemy(){
// bang bang
}
}The code snippet in the preceding example is the implementation for a class called Soldier. There are two member variables or fields, an int variable called health and a String variable called soldierType.
There is also a method called shootEnemy. The method has no parameters and a void return type, but class methods can be of any shape or size as we discussed in Chapter 8, Coding in Java...
