Then you need to look at the application that will use the class to see what other methods it needs.

Basic syntax:
class <CLASSNAME> {
....
} // end class

thanks you, but can u explain more detail to me .

We'll help you if you have problems with your code, but we don't write your code for you.
Look at the Tutorial on how to define a class:
The Really Big Index
Search for class and read about how to define and use classes.

can ask about the categories of CD,the "tracks listing" i should use INT or STRING ??

int is for numbers that you can use for doing math like counting or sizes
String is for values to be displayed to a user like a name.
