Example

To declare an object reference use the syntax

class name {
  object variable;
}

where name is the name of the class, and variable is the name of the object reference.

To define an object reference use the syntax

  variable reference;
}

where name is the name of the class, variable is the name of the object reference, and reference is the name of the object being referred to. Object names can either be a defined name or a canonical name.
