Python Class and Objects

We have already discussed in previous tutorial, a class is a virtual entity and can be seen as a blueprint of an object. The class came into existence when it instantiated. Let's understand it by an example.

Suppose a class is a prototype of a building. A building contains all the details about the floor, rooms, doors, windows, etc. we can make as many buildings as we want, based on these details. Hence, the building can be seen as a class, and we can create as many objects of this class.

Creating classes in Python

In Python, a class can be created by using the keyword class, followed by the class name. 

The self-parameter

The self-parameter refers to the current instance of the class and accesses the class variables. We can use anything instead of self, but it must be the first parameter of any function which belongs to the class.

Delete the Object

We can delete the properties of the object or object itself by using the del keyword.
