Anatomy of a Class - compare with the anatomy of an essay.
Class Name
Variables
Constructor - if no constructor is defined Java will create and use a default constructor - Class Name ( ) { }
Main Method - Act() method
Declared Methods

public class TurtleWorld extends World
{
/**
* Create the turtle world. Our world has a size
* of 560x460 cells, where every cell is just 1 pixel.
*/
public TurtleWorld()
{
super(600, 480, 1);
addObject(new Turtle(), 300, 240);
}
}

Section 3: Lesson 5 - Randomization and Constructors vocabulary:
- A technique that allows a class to use a method from another class or object. The dot between the class/object name and the method name indicates that the method comes from a different class or object.
- A special kind of method that is automatically executed whenever a new instance of the class is created.
- A keyword that indicates that a new object is being created.
- Symbols that compare two random values in a method.
