how to make classes in python code example

Example 1: create and use python classes

class Mammal:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def walk(self):
        print(self.name + " is going for a walk")


class Dog(Mammal):
    def bark(self):
        print("bark!")


class Cat(Mammal):
    def meow(self):
        print("meow!")


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

Example 2: what is an object in python

#objects are collections of data

Example 3: 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'

Example 4: class in python

10
<function Person.greet at 0x7fc78c6e8160>
This is a person class

Example 5: 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())
