Question

Why are the data members of a class called instance variables​

Answer 1

The reason why data members of a class are called instance variables​ are as follows:

• In OOPs with classes, instance variables are defined in a class. Due to this instance variable, each object gets a distinct copy of its object.
• Though instance variables are not variables of a class, still there lies some resemblance between them.
• Instance variables are generally referred to as class attributes or data members
• Data members in a class might be in public, private, or protected.
• Thus data members are sometimes called instance variables.
