objects from non static class

[stuckonjava]

I read that whenever we have a non-static class, in order to instantiated, the object needs to be created for the class type.

However lets say I have public class pear. Why does the code new pear(); instantiate? Is there an object being created and if so how do I access it as it has no name.

The way I learnt it was: pear a = new pear();


Thanks for your time

new pear(); //call the class's constructor. The value returned is not saved in a variable.
Math.sqrt(334); // value returned is not saved in a variable

if I had a method print, could I use: new pear().print(); ?

Try it and see what happens.

Yep, because the expression 'new pear()' returns a pear object; name it X, so your expression is equivalent to the expression 'X.print()' where X is an instantiation of a pear.
