Defining a Basic Class

Snippet

Classes are blueprints for objects. The __init__ method is a constructor that initializes the object's attributes.

snippet.py
python
class Pet:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
 
my_pet = Pet("Luna")
print(my_pet.name)

Breakdown

self.name = name
