Example 4: how to create an object in python

class ClassName:
    self.attribute_1 = variable_1 #Set attributes for all object instances
    self.attrubute_2 = variable_2
    
    def __init__(self, attribute_3, attribute_4): #Set attributes at object creation
        self.attribute_3 = attribute_3            
        self.attribute_4 = attribute_4

    def method(self): #All methods should include self
		print("This is a method example.") #Define methods just like functions 


object = Object(4, "string") #Set attribute_3 and attribute_4
object.method() #Methods are called like this.
