python create class de code example
Example 1: how to declare a class in python
class ClassName(object): #"(object)" isn't mandatory unless this class inherit from another
def __init__(self, var1=0, var2):
#the name of the construct must be "__init__" or it won't work
#the arguments "self" is mandatory but you can add more if you want
self.age = var1
self.name = var2
#the construct will be execute when you declare an instance of this class
def otherFunction(self):
#the other one work like any basic fonction but in every methods,
#the first argument (here "self") return to the class in which you are
Example 2: class in python
class ComplexNumber:
def __init__(self, r=0, i=0):
self.real = r
self.imag = i
def get_data(self):
print(f'{self.real}+{self.imag}j')
# Create a new ComplexNumber object
num1 = ComplexNumber(2, 3)
# Call get_data() method
# Output: 2+3j
num1.get_data()
# Create another ComplexNumber object
# and create a new attribute 'attr'
num2 = ComplexNumber(5)
num2.attr = 10
# Output: (5, 0, 10)
print((num2.real, num2.imag, num2.attr))
# but c1 object doesn't have attribute 'attr'
# AttributeError: 'ComplexNumber' object has no attribute 'attr'
print(num1.attr)
