Does a class without methods have a special name?

Question

What is a class without methods called? I'm trying to understand and learn about classes, so i have the following class "Variables" that doesn't have methods, only fields, like the field "Server" in a folder called "utilities":

package com.abc.app.utilities;

public class Variables {
    public static String Server="http://192.168.1.29/"; 
}

then this class is called from a method in another class located in another folder or package this way:

 URL url = new URL(Variables.Server + "...");

is this (the without methods) a particular type of class or is a common class despite not having any method?

Answer 1

Raman is right in that all objects inherit the methods of the Object class, so you technically can't have a class without any methods at all.

But if you're talking about a class that doesn't override any of those methods, don't have methods of its own, and most/all fields are public, then people typically call those POD types, or short for Plain Old Data type.

Something like:

public class Point2D {
    public int x;
    public int y;
}

would be considered a POD type

Answer 2

There is no class which doesn't have any method. All Classes are subclass of Object class. So all the methods from Object class are inherited. eg. toString(), hashCode() etc.

And there is no special name for them.
