create class py code example

Example 1: python class

class Animal(object): # Doesn't need params but put it there anyways.
    def __init__(self, species, price):
        self.species = species # Sets species name
        self.price = price # Sets price of it
    
    def overview(self): # A function that uses the params of the __init__ function
        print(f"This species is called a {self.species} and the price for it is {self.price}")

class Fish(Animal): # Inherits from Animal
    pass # Don't need to add anything because it's inherited everything from Animal
 
salmon = Fish("Salmon", "$20") # Make a object from class Fish
salmon.overview() # Run a function with it
dog = Animal("Golden retriever", "$400") # Make a object from class Animal
dog.overview() # Run a function with it

Example 2: python person class

import datetime # we will use this for date objects

class Person:

    def __init__(self, name, surname, birthdate, address, telephone, email):
        self.name = name
        self.surname = surname
        self.birthdate = birthdate

        self.address = address
        self.telephone = telephone
        self.email = email

    def age(self):
        today = datetime.date.today()
        age = today.year - self.birthdate.year

        if today < datetime.date(today.year, self.birthdate.month, self.birthdate.day):
            age -= 1

        return age

person = Person(
    "Jane",
    "Doe",
    datetime.date(1992, 3, 12), # year, month, day
    "No. 12 Short Street, Greenville",
    "555 456 0987",
    "[email protected]"
)

print(person.name)
print(person.email)
print(person.age())
