class statement
[dynamic] class className [ extends superClass ] [ implements
interfaceName[, interfaceName... ] ] { // class definition here}
Defines a custom class, which lets you instantiate objects that share methods and properties
that you define. For example, if you are developing an invoice-tracking system, you could
create an invoice class that defines all the methods and properties that each invoice should
have. You would then use the
new invoice() command to create invoice objects.
