class variables different for different objects in python why ? code example
Example 1: instance variable in python
class Car: wheels = 4 # <- Class variable def __init__(self, name): self.name = name # <- Instance variable
Example 2: class variable in python
# Class variables refer to variables that are made within a class.
# It is generated when you define the class.
# It's shared with all the instance of that class.
# Example:
class some_variable_holder(object):
var = "This variable is created inside the class some_variable_holder()."
def somefunc(self):
print("Random function ran.")
thing = some_variable_holder()
another_thing = some_variable_holder()
# Both does the same thing because the same variable has been passed on from the class.
thing.var
another_thing.var
