The Fission Theory: This theory proposes that the Moon was once part of the Earth and somehow separated from the Earth early in the history of the solar system.
This provides modular approach to programming. Classes. A class is a concept used in object oriented programming languages such as C++, PHP, and JAVA etc. Apart from holding data, a class is also used to hold functions. An object is an instant of a class. In case of variables, the type is the class whereas the variable is the object.
Like the other answers have said, instance methods operate on an object and has access to its instance variables, while a class method operates on a class as a whole and has no access to a particular instance's variables (unless you pass the instance in as a parameter).
