How many ways to create an object ?

1. Using new keyword MyClass object = new MyClass(); 2. Using clone() It creates a copy of an existing object. MyClass secondObject  = object.clone(); 3. Using Class.forName() If we know the name of the class and it has a public default constructor we can create an object in this way. MyObject object =      (MyObject) Class.forName("genius.MyObject").newInstance(); 4. Using object deserialization Object deserialization is nothing but creating an object from its serialized form. ObjectInputStream inputStream = new ObjectInputStream(xyzStream); MyClass object = (MyClass) inputStream.readObject();
