Answer:

The "new" keyword instructs the compiler to instantiate a new object, with appropriate number of bytes depending upon the type of the object and gather required memory from the heap.

Example:-

Classname objectname = new  Classname();

The objects to the classes are reference type in nature so you need to assign them a memory to the heap by calling their default constructor with new keyword.
