define a method on class python code example

Example 1: 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 2: class python 3

A class is a block of code that holds various functions. Because they
are located inside a class they are named methods but mean the samne
thing. In addition variables that are stored inside a class are named 
attributes. The point of a class is to call the class later allowing you 
to access as many functions or (methods) as you would like with the same
class name. These methods are grouped together under one class name due
to them working in association with eachother in some way.

#example
# 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
