Java is object oriented. The idea is to create modular code that you can reuse so we create classes for certain tasks/objects. We do this is separate files to organize our code, because once you get into large assignments and have 8,000+ lines of code in each class it will become difficult to find things. Constructors are a way of creating objects from those classes.

Take more courses, even the Java track, and you will begin to understand the differences. Take another language (non object oriented) like c and you will appreciate classes. Note I said "c" and not c++, or c#.
