dog1 = Dog("Spot")
dog1.walk()
dog1.bark()
cat1 = Cat("Juniper")
cat1.walk()
cat1.meow()

Example 3: how to define a class in python

class a_class:
  #This initalizes the object, and is executed when you define
  #a new object in the class
  def __init__(self, input1):
    self.__input1 = input1
    
  #This is a function of the object that can be called
  def return_input(self):
    return self.__input1
  
a_class_object = a_class("input string")
print(a_class_object.return_input())
