@erikFWIW, I agree that your proposed sentence is more correct, taking both
the English and Java languages into consideration. The class has a variable
whose type is a particular class. It is a semantic point, but one that is -
obviously - confusing to a beginner.
>but classes are not variables (String != str)
>and variables are not classes,
no, but they are instances of a class*: str is a String.
*except for primitives

OP's point was that the String named: str (which is a variable) is not equal
to the String class, or in your example:
String != foo
erik, give it another shot. it looks to me like you're on the right track,
just worry less about the obstacles.
PS: sorry for coming into the conversation late. I've only just got some
free cycles :-)
