Python Classes and Objects

Classes are user-defined blueprints used to create objects with shared attributes and behaviors in Python. A class defines the attributes and methods for objects instantiated from it. Objects consist of state/attributes that reflect its properties, and behavior/methods that define its responses. For example, a Child class could define identity, age, gender attributes and walking, running, sleeping methods for objects like Daksh and Akshita that share the class definition but have unique attribute values.

Python Classes and Objects


Last Updated: 31-05-2020
A class is a user-defined blueprint or prototype from which objects are created.
Some points on Python class:
 Classes are created by keyword class.
 Attributes are the variables that belong to class.
 Attributes are always public and can be accessed using dot (.) operator. Eg.:
Myclass.Myattribute

class ClassName:
# Statement-1
.
.
.
# Statement-N

An object consists of :
 State/Attribute : It is represented by attributes of an object. It also reflects the properties
of an object.
 Behavior/methods : It is represented by methods of an object. It also reflects the
response of an object with other objects.
 Identity : It gives a unique name to an object and enables one object to interact with
other objects.

Class child
Identity – name of the child

Attribute – Age/Gendar

Behavior/Methods – Walk, run, Sleep

Declaring Objects (Also called instantiating a class)

All the instances share the attributes and the behavior of the class. But the values of those attributes, i.e. the
state are unique for each object. A single class may have any number of instances.

Child –
Daksh – 12, Boy, walk/run/swim/play cricket
Akshita – 11 Girl, walk/run/read books

# Python program to
# demonstrate instantiating
# a class
  
  
class Dog: 
      
    # A simple class
    # attribute
    attr1 = "mamal"
    attr2 = "dog"
  
    # A sample method  
    def fun(self): 
        print("I'm a", self.attr1)
        print("I'm a", self.attr2)
  
# Driver code
# Object instantiation
Rodger = Dog()
  
# Accessing class attributes
# and method through objects
print(Rodger.attr1)
Rodger.fun()
