Class: This is the model or standard about the capability of what an object can do Method: Function / procedure inside a class Instance: An Instance is a unique realization of an Object.
Object vs. Instance
I still get this so confused wtf.. they are used extremely interchangeably. Anyways, the distinction between object and instance is not important.
