Objects

🧱 Objects are instances of classes. They bundle data (attributes) and functionality (methods) into reusable blueprints. Object-oriented programming (OOP) helps organize and scale complex programs.

Classes and Objects

Use class to define a class. Then, create an object (an instance of that class).

The __init__ Method

Use __init__ to initialize an object with data when it’s created.

Attributes

Objects can store data in attributes accessed using dot notation.

Methods

Functions defined inside a class are called methods. They usually take self as the first argument.

Object Identity

Each object is unique and has its own identity in memory.

Class vs. Instance Attributes

Instance attributes belong to one object. Class attributes are shared across all instances.

Inheritance and super()

A child class can inherit from a parent class. Use super() to call the parent’s methods.
