Example 1: how to make a class in python
class Person:
def __init__(self, _name, _age):
self.name = _name
self.age = _age
def sayHi(self):
print('Hello, my name is ' + self.name + ' and I am ' + self.age + ' years old!')
p1 = Person('Bob', 25)
p1.sayHi() # Prints: Hello, my name is Bob and I am 25 years old!
Example 2: python class
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
def myfunc(self):
print("Hello my name is " + self.name +".")
p1 = Person("Victor", 24)
p1.myfunc()
Example 3: call instance class python
# define class
class example:
# define __call__ function
def __call__(self):
print("It worked!")
# create instance
g = example()
# when attempting to call instance of class it will call the __class method
g()
# prints It worked!
Example 4: class methods in python
from datetime import date
# random Person
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
@classmethod
def fromBirthYear(cls, name, birthYear):
return cls(name, date.today().year - birthYear)
def display(self):
print(self.name + "'s age is: " + str(self.age))
person = Person('Adam', 19)
person.display()
person1 = Person.fromBirthYear('John', 1985)
person1.display()
Example 5: class methods parameters python
class Foo (object):
# ^class name #^ inherits from object
bar = "Bar" #Class attribute.
def __init__(self):
# #^ The first variable is the class instance in methods.
# # This is called "self" by convention, but could be any name you want.
#^ double underscore (dunder) methods are usually special. This one
# gets called immediately after a new instance is created.
self.variable = "Foo" #instance attribute.
print self.variable, self.bar #<---self.bar references class attribute
self.bar = " Bar is now Baz" #<---self.bar is now an instance attribute
print self.variable, self.bar
def method(self, arg1, arg2):
#This method has arguments. You would call it like this: instance.method(1, 2)
print "in method (args):", arg1, arg2
print "in method (attributes):", self.variable, self.bar
a = Foo() # this calls __init__ (indirectly), output:
# Foo bar
# Foo Bar is now Baz
print a.variable # Foo
a.variable = "bar"
a.method(1, 2) # output:
# in method (args): 1 2
# in method (attributes): bar Bar is now Baz
Foo.method(a, 1, 2) #<--- Same as a.method(1, 2). This makes it a little more explicit what the argument "self" actually is.
class Bar(object):
def __init__(self, arg):
self.arg = arg
self.Foo = Foo()
b = Bar(a)
b.arg.variable = "something"
print a.variable # something
print b.Foo.variable # Foo
Example 6: class in python
class ComplexNumber:
def __init__(self, r=0, i=0):
self.real = r
self.imag = i
def get_data(self):
print(f'{self.real}+{self.imag}j')
# Create a new ComplexNumber object
num1 = ComplexNumber(2, 3)
# Call get_data() method
# Output: 2+3j
num1.get_data()
# Create another ComplexNumber object
# and create a new attribute 'attr'
num2 = ComplexNumber(5)
num2.attr = 10
# Output: (5, 0, 10)
print((num2.real, num2.imag, num2.attr))
# but c1 object doesn't have attribute 'attr'
# AttributeError: 'ComplexNumber' object has no attribute 'attr'
print(num1.attr)
