what is class?(python) with example

1.  In Python every thing is an object. To create objects we required some Model or Plan
2. or Blue print, which is nothing but class.
3.  We can write a class to represent properties (attributes) and actions (behaviour) of object.
4.  Properties can be represented by variables Actions can be represented by Methods.
5. Hence class contains both variables and methods.

How to define a Class?

We can define a class by using class keyword.

Syntax:

class className:

''' documenttation string '''

variables:instance variables,static and local variables

methods: instance methods,static methods,class methods

Documentation string represents description of the class. Within the class doc string is

always optional. We can get doc string by using the following 2 ways.

1) print(classname.__doc__)

2) help(classname)

Example:

1) class Student:

2)

''''' This is student class with required data'''

3) print(Student.__doc__)

4) help(Student)
