I cannot understand why an object is created this way

[Shawn]

I don't understand such code:

Suppose I have a class called MyClassA already:

public class MyClassA()
{
...
public void doThis()
{
...//code
}

} //end of MyClassA

My problem is the following. When I created an object, instead of like
tradition ( ref_name = new ClassName() ), it follows a block, which
includes some new methods. For example:

public class MyClassB()
{
private MyClassA classA = new MyClassA() {
public void doThat() {

} //end of doThat
};
}

What does this mean? Is that the object classA NOW actually has both
methods to use (doThis(), doThat())? What is the name of such a technique?

Thank you very much.
