I'm trying to understand if a class can be set up inside a class.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 10,331 PointsThink of the class as the mold and the object is what is mass produced by that mold. Both the owner and pet classes are independent. When the objects of each are created (instantiated) they each are a new entity with its own space in the memory of the computer.
When we call the owner setter method on the ernie object we are connecting the ashley object to it by referencing it in ernie's _owner property.

20,702 PointsI don't understand when you say you can use a getter to use another class "inside that" class.
