how to declare class variables in 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 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
