The new operator creates a new object instance given a class name or a plug-in parameter. It allocates memory for the new object, initializes it with zeroes, and then calls the constructor for the object, if one exists. If the constructor has one or more arguments, these must be supplied within parentheses after the class or parameter name.
The return value is a reference to the new object that was created. Examples:
MyClass c = new MyClass ; Constructor without arguments Point p = new Point(3, 4) ; Constructor with arguments MyClass c = new @MyClassParam ; Plug-in parameter MyClass2 c = new @MyClassParam2(12) ; Plug-in parameter with arguments
