To instantiate means creating an object of some class, which initial state may be undefined. The class is a blueprint which is used by the program to create objects. Objects created are compliant with the blueprint and can be manipulated by the program. E.g. variables current_client and previous_client can be assigned objects of class Customer.
Instantiate in Java means to call a constructor of a Class which creates an an instance or object, of the type of that Class. Instantiation allocates the initial memory for the object and returns a reference.
Instantiate literally means "to create an instance of". In programming, this generally means to create an instance of an object (generally on "the heap"). This is done via the new keyword in most languages. ie: new object();. Most of the time you will also save a reference to the object. ie: object myObject = new object();.
Should I instantiate instance variables on declaration or in the constructor? Asked 15 years, 11 months ago Modified 6 years, 2 months ago Viewed 110k times
Instantiation is the creation of an object instance. It is more usual to use the term in reference to a class object than something like an int or double. A C++ variable definition does cause an object of the type being defined to be instantiated. It is, however, possible in C++ to instantiate an object other than via a variable definition ...
Although only slightly related, one can perhaps instantiate an abstract class in C++: if you derive a non-abstract class B from an abstract one A, during the part of construction of B instance, which consist running A 's constructor, the object's runtime type is actually A. Only temporary however.

Think about it: You can't instantiate an interface, yet that's what the code looks like it's doing. But, of course, it's not instantiating a Cookable object -- it's creating an instance of a new anonymous implementer of Cookable.
