Hi! So, for example. You have CLASS Cat, that shows all behavior and attributes of that CLASS. And you have Cat named Boris. Boris - exact OBJECT of CLASS Cat, because it has own age, color, energy and so on. For conclusion, CLASS describes structure of each OBJECT => OBJECT = INSTANCE OF CLASS

lets go one by one Instance means derived from. Assume "Human is a class" and Prashant is an object derived from the class with the properties of the Human : Class. Another example Animal is a class with properties, walks on 4 legs, 5 sense, eats grass etc., then Girafee is an Object derived from Animal Class. Hope this helps.
