An Object is an instance of a Class. You can think of the object as the thing and "instance" as the relationship. – Peter Lawrey Jul 25 '14 at 13:37

In other languages, objects can exist without an associated class. In this case there is objects without instances. In Java, all objects must be instances of a class. – Peter Lawrey Jul 25 '14 at 13:39

Instance
and object
of class are same things.
Theoratically Instance represents certain object at one time.
Example: Suppose you have Employee Class
(Structure) with firstName
and lastName
your instance or object
(Value) represent Employee with firstname "Sanjay" and lastname "Rabari"

Sanjay Rabari
