float c;
float d;
};

is the memory is allocated for this class???

No. Memory is not allocated when you declare a class. The class serves as information for the compiler os that when you create an object the compiler knows how big to make it. Then when you call methods on the object, the compiler can check to see of the methods are actualy part of the class. Only when you define an object is memory allocated:

//class declaration - no memory allocated
class var
{
int a;
int b;
float c;
float d;
};
 
int main()
{
    var obj;          //object defined. Memory is allocated.
}
