class method python code example

Example 1: python class constructor

class Human:
	def __init__(self, name):
      self.name = name

h1 = Human("Bob")
print(h1.name) # prints Bob, the name passed from constructor

Example 2: 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 3: 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 4: declare class python

# To create a simple class:
class Shape:
  	def __init__():
      	print("A new shape has been created!")
      	pass
    
    def get_area(self):
		pass

# To create a class that uses inheritance and polymorphism
# from another class:
class Rectangle(Shape):
  
	def __init__(self, height, width): # The constructor
    	super.__init__()
        self.height = height
    	self.width = width

	def get_area(self):
      	return self.height * self.width

Example 5: python classes

class Box(object): #(object) ending not required
  def __init__(self, color, width, height): # Constructor: These parameters will be used upon class calling(Except self)
    self.color = color # self refers to global variables that can only be used throughout the class
    self.width = width
    self.height = height
    self.area = width * height
  def writeAboutBox(self): # self is almost always required for a function in a class, unless you don't want to use any of the global class variables
    print(f"I'm a box with the area of {self.area}, and a color of: {self.color}!")

greenSquare = Box("green", 10, 10) #Creates new square
greenSquare.writeAboutBox() # Calls writeAboutBox function of greenSquare object

Example 6: python define class

class uneclasse():
  def __init__(self):
    pass
  def something(self):
    pass
xx = uneclasse()
xx.something()
