1.10 Classes and Objects

After this unit you will: be able to write a simple class and create multiple objects from it.

Key points

• A class is a blueprint; an object (instance) is a concrete entity created from the class.
• __init__ is the constructor; self is the object that is calling the method.
• An instance attribute (self.name) belongs to each individual object; a class attribute (Student.university) is shared by all objects.
• Python interprets anna.status() as Student.status(anna).
