Python Classes and 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.

To create a class, use the keyword class

Create a class named MyClass, with a property named x: class MyClass:

Now we can use the class named MyClass to create objects:

Create an object named p1, and print the value of x:

You can delete objects by using the del keyword:

del p1

You can create multiple objects from the same class:

Create three objects from the MyClass class:

Each object is independent and has its own copy of the class properties. The pass Statement class definitions cannot be empty, but if you for some reason have a class definition with no content, put in the pass statement to avoid getting an error.
