Implementation plan:

Note: Intro to classes is covered in the Core program Week 11 - Classes and objects

1. Defining a class in Java: fields and methods
2. Creating objects with new
3. Constructors: default constructor
4. Parameterized constructors
5. Multiple constructors (constructor overloading)
6. The this keyword — referencing current instance
7. Calling methods on objects

• Access modifiers: public, private, protected, package-private (default)
• Making fields private
• Writing getter methods
• Writing setter methods with validation
• The convention: field naming, getter/setter naming
• Encapsulation as a design principle — what to expose, what to hide
