Please help: I need the dummies tutorial on how to best understand Python Classes. I can't seem to get my head around them.
ash15khng There are many tutorials out there, including this.
However, I'll try to explain a bit.
So, classes is kind of like a blueprint for some data.
Example:
class Animal:
is_animal = True
def init(self, species):
self.species = species
To create an instance of a class:
cat1 = Animal("cat")
So now you can access stuff in it with dot notation:
print(cat1.is_animal) # prints True
print(cat1.species) # prints "cat"
So what is the init() function? It is basically what is called when you 4 years ago
