how to write programs in classes in python code example
Example 1: create and use python classes
class Mammal:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def walk(self):
print(self.name + " is going for a walk")
class Dog(Mammal):
def bark(self):
print("bark!")
class Cat(Mammal):
def meow(self):
print("meow!")
dog1 = Dog("Spot")
dog1.walk()
dog1.bark()
cat1 = Cat("Juniper")
cat1.walk()
cat1.meow()
Example 2: how to declare a class in python
class ClassName(object): #"(object)" isn't mandatory unless this class inherit from another
def __init__(self, var1=0, var2):
#the name of the construct must be "__init__" or it won't work
#the arguments "self" is mandatory but you can add more if you want
self.age = var1
self.name = var2
#the construct will be execute when you declare an instance of this class
def otherFunction(self):
#the other one work like any basic fonction but in every methods,
#the first argument (here "self") return to the class in which you are
