    Python allows for object-oriented programming where classes are used to create objects. A class acts as a blueprint to make objects with properties and methods. The __init__() method is used to initialize an object's properties when it is created. Objects can also contain their own methods in addition to inheriting properties and methods from parent classes. The self parameter refers to the current object instance and is used to access object properties and methods. Object properties can be modified or deleted after an object is created.

    Python Classes/Objects

    Python is an object oriented programming language.

    Almost everything in Python is an object, with its properties and methods.

    A Class is like an object constructor, or a "blueprint" for creating objects.

    Objects:

    class MyClass:

    x=5

    p1 = MyClass()

    print(p1.x)

    The __init__() Function


    Use the __init__() function to assign values to object properties, or other operations that
    are necessary to do when the object is being created:

    Example:

    class Person:

    def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

    p1 = Person("John", 36)

    print(p1.name)

    print(p1.age)

    Object Methods
    Objects can also contain methods. Methods in objects are functions that belong to the
    object.

    Example:

    class Person:

    def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

    def myfunc(self):

    print("Hello my name is " + self.name)

    p1 = Person("John", 36)

    p1.myfunc()

    The self Parameter


    The self parameter is a reference to the current instance of the class, and is used to access
    variables that belongs to the class.

    It does not have to be named self , you can call it whatever you like, but it has to be the
    first parameter of any function in the class:

    Example:

    class Person:

    def __init__(mysillyobject, name, age):

    mysillyobject.name = name

    mysillyobject.age = age

    def myfunc(abc):

    print("Hello my name is " + abc.name)


    p1 = Person("John", 36)

    p1.myfunc()

    Modify Object Properties


    class Person:

    def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

    def myfunc(self):

    print("Hello my name is " + self.name)

    p1 = Person("John", 36)

    p1.age = 40

    print(p1.age)

    Delete Object Properties


    class Person:

    def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

    def myfunc(self):

    print("Hello my name is " + self.name)

    p1 = Person("John", 36)

    del p1.age

    print(p1.age)

    Python Inheritance
    Inheritance allows us to define a class that inherits all the methods and properties from
    another class.

    Parent class is the class being inherited from, also called base class.

    Child class is the class that inherits from another class, also called derived class.

    Example:

    class Person:

    def __init__(self, fname, lname):

    self.firstname = fname

    self.lastname = lname

    def printname(self):

    print(self.firstname, self.lastname)

    #Use the Person class to create an object, and then execute the printname method:

    x = Person("John", "Doe")

    x.printname()

    super() Function
    Python also has a super() function that will make the child class inherit all the methods and
    properties from its

    Example:

    class Person:

    def __init__(self, fname, lname):

    self.firstname = fname

    self.lastname = lname

    def printname(self):

    print(self.firstname, self.lastname)
    class Student(Person):

    def __init__(self, fname, lname):

    super().__init__(fname, lname)

    x = Student("Mike", "Olsen")

    x.printname()
