Python Classes/Objects

Python Classes/Objects

Python is an object-oriented programming language. Almost everything in Python is an object, with its properties and methods.

Create a Class

To create a class, use the keyword class:

class MyClass:
    x = 5

Create Object

Now we can use the class named MyClass to create objects:

p1 = MyClass()
print(p1.x)

The __init__() Function

All classes have a function called __init__(), which is always executed when the class is being initiated. Use the __init__() function to assign values to object properties:

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

p1 = Person("John", 36)
print(p1.name)
print(p1.age)
