The variable will hold a reference to an object (instance) of the class specified as the variable's type e.g. a reference to a `Woman` object.

maybe you want somthing like this? also I dont think static classes are the right choice unless you using static methods or fields. https://code.sololearn.com/cfaI8zQobx1p/?ref=app

It is very much possible since Java is OOP language. Everything except the primitive types are instance of a certain class. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html

Did you not have an instruction telling you what to do with the code? I see an instruction at line 10, but no detail on what is next step. I think you should try to consult the book/site where you found that task.

Ok I got that . I read the link provided by u of primitive data types. But can u help me with this as which type of value does the variable will hold when declared with class name like int holds numeric value.

What I want to know is that how can we use a class name as data type to declare a variable like used here - class name Woman used as data type for variable ' owner '
