easy understanding of class::

It's an explanation for those who didn't get the idea of classes,objects,instances,methods. I was having trouble getting the concept behind this. somehow I figured it out and I want to make it clear for all the other people. Here I go :) A Class is a python code,. Whereas a module is a file that contains the python code. A Method is just what it means , so it gives a rule of how the attributes can be used in it. An instance is defining a method with its attributes. Object of a class might be the data of anything. You will give it a name and the data you enter in the brackets is according to the attributes you choose. Here is an example to make it clear. This is the example of a class friends: # THE FAST THE FURIOUS CREW DETAILS class FF: def __init__(self, age, gender): self.age = age self.gender= gender Toretto = FF("48","male") Letty = FF("37", "female") Conner= FF("40","male") Mia= FF("36","female") print (Toretto .age) print(Mia.gender) print(Conner.gender) print(Letty.

It is my understanding that the self.age defines a function [object].age (self bring a placeholder for the object name e.g. Toretto), and that line self.age = age tells the method that the result of this function should be the argument called 'age'. That is, the first of two arguments used to define an object - this comes from the __init__(self, age, gender) which means an object is defined with two arguments called 'age' and 'gender'. I think I am right in assuming that the method names (coming after the dot) don't have to be the same as the argument names, but it is convention that they are.
