Chapter 2: Class and Object Basics

In this chapter, we'll delve deeper into the fundamentals of classes and objects in Python. Attributes: Attributes are variables that store data associated with an object. They are defined inside the class and accessed using the dot notation. There are two types: class attributes (shared by all instances of a class) and instance attributes (specific to each instance).


Methods: Methods are functions defined within a class and are used to perform actions or operations on the object's data.


Constructors: The __init__ method is a special constructor method that gets called when you create a new object. It initializes the object's attributes.


Instance Variables: Instance variables are specific to each instance of a class. They are accessed using self.


Class Variables: Class variables are shared by all instances of a class and are defined at the class level.


Class Methods and Static Methods:
You can define methods that are specific to the class itself using the @classmethod and @staticmethod decorators.
