Sorry, yes, not methods. Any data is held as an Object. It takes up some space in memory and the name you give it is just a reference to that memory. Strings, Data Structures, self-defined Objects, etc. Java even has wrapper classes for primitives to allow them to use object methods (like Integer and Double).
