Python Class and Objects
In Python, a class is a blueprint or a template for creating objects. It defines the properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods) that objects of that class will have. Classes facilitate object-oriented programming principles like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, allowing for structured and reusable code.
An object in Python is a concrete instance of a class, possessing its own state (attributes) and behavior (methods).
class Person: #Creates a class named Person
def __init__(self, myname, myage):
self.name = myname
self.age = myage
p1 = Person("John", 36) #Creates an object p1 of class Person
print(p1.name)
print(p1.age)
p2 = Person("Jane", 28) #Creates an object p2 of class Person
print(p2.name)
print(p2.age)
Object with functions
class Person:
def __init__(self, myname, myage):
self.name = myname
self.age = myage
def myfunc1(self):
print("Hello my name is " + self.name)
def myfunc2(self):
print("I am " + str(self.age) + " years old")
p1 = Person("John", 36)
p1.myfunc1()
p1.myfunc2()
p2 = Person("Jane", 28)
p2.myfunc1()
p2.myfunc2()
