example of class in python

Example 1: 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 2: 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 3: class python

class Person:
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

p1 = Person("John", 36)

p1.age = 40

print(p1.age)
---------------------------------------------------------------
40

Example 4: classes in python

# Python classes

class Person():
  # Class object attributes (attributes that not needed to be mentioned when creating new class of person)
  alive = True
  
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    # In the __init__ method you can make attributes that will be mentioned when creating new class of person
    self.name = name
    self.age = age
    
  def speak(self):
    # In every method in class there will be self, and then other things (name, age, etc.)
    print(f'Hello, my name is {self.name} and my age is {self.age}') # f'' is type of strings that let you use variable within the string

person_one = Person('Sam', 23) # Sam is the name attribute, and 23 is the age attribute
person_one.speak() # Prints Hello, my name is Sam and my age is 23

==================================================================
# Output:

>>> 'Hello, my name is Sam and my age is 23'
