What are Python objects, and how are they created?

Python objects and their creation process

In Python, objects are instances of classes. A class is a blueprint or template that defines a set of attributes (variables) and methods (functions) common to all objects of that class. Data and behavior are encapsulated in objects, which represent real-world entities or abstract concepts.

Here are the steps to create an object in Python:

• Define a class: First, you define a class that acts as a blueprint for creating objects. This involves specifying attributes and methods for the objects.
• Instantiate the class: To create an object, you instantiate the class using the class name followed by parentheses. This process is called object instantiation or object creation. It allocates memory for the object and initializes its attributes based on the class's __init__ method (constructor).

Example: Create an object in Python

class Motorbike:
    def __init__(self, make, model):
        self.make = make
        self.model = model
        self.speed = 0
    def accelerate(self, speed_increase):
        self.speed += speed_increase
    def brake(self, speed_decrease):
        self.speed -= speed_decrease

    def get_speed(self):
        return self.speed
# Create an object (instance) of the Motorbike class
my_motorbike = Motorbike("FAREAST", "DF250RTS")

In the example above, we defined a class "Motorbike" with attributes 'make', 'model', and 'speed', along with methods 'accelerate()', 'brake()', and 'get_speed()'. We then created an object 'my_motorbike' by calling the class "Motorbike" as if it were a function and passing the required arguments ("FAREAST" and "DF250RTS" in this case) to initialize the object's attributes.

Now, 'my_motorbike' is an instance of the "Motorbike" class, and it has its own unique 'make', 'model', and 'speed'. You can call the methods on 'my_motorbike' to perform specific actions and interact with its attributes.
