Document Summary
Python is an object oriented programming language. This means it manipulates and works with data structures called objects. Objects can be anything that could be names in python : These objects have equal status in python. They can be used anywhere an object is required. They can be assigned to a variable , list or dictionary. They can also be passed as arguments. A class is simply a way of organising , managing and creating objects with the same attributes and methods. In python, you can define your own classes , inherit from your own defined classes or built. To define a class you can use class" , a reserved keyword, followed by classname and a colon. Example: class students: pass to create a class that taken an object : class students(object) Immediately after creating an instance of the class you will have to call the __init__() function. This function initializes the objects its creates.
