How to declare a class in Java?

Following is the syntax to declare a class.

class className {
   //Body of the class
}

You can declare a class by writing the name of the next to the class keyword, followed by the flower braces. Within these, you need to define the body (contents) of the class i.e. fields and methods.

To make the class accessible to all (classes) you need to make it public.

public class MyClass {
   //contents of the class (fields and methods)
}
