Trying to understand OOP, Umpteenth time

Show all headers | View raw

OK, so I think I get it. If you have a class X (OK, you can't, but maybe by now you can...ugh! I donno, you get my point?), you can say var foo = new X() ; ,and then you can execute stuff *inside* X like this: foo.m() ;.

But then you can also do var bar = new X();, and then you'd have a second instance of X, right? My question is WHY? Why would you need the same thing twice?? ie. in short, what is the whole POINT of doing OOP? Where would you NEED to do the var bar stuff, after you'd already done the var foo?

Thanks for you guys' help, as always.
