uses of 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 a class in python

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.
