Can you refer to a class as a composite type / user-defined type?

Question

Accepted Answer

✅ Yes.


A class is composite because it groups together multiple variables (fields) and methods.


A class is also a user-defined type because it is defined by the programmer (not provided as a built-in primitive).


Example:


class Book {
    String title;    // field
    String author;   // field
    int pages;       // field
}



Book is both:


A composite type (made up of String and int)


A user-defined type (created by the programmer).
