What Is An Object?: Car Car Ford Mustang Toyota Prius

The document describes a Car class in Python, detailing how to create car objects with unique attributes like color, brand, and model. It explains the concept of an object as an instance of a class and introduces constructors, specifically the __init__ method, which initializes attributes when a new object is created. An example of creating a Toyota Corolla object and invoking its start method is provided.

Imagine a Car class in Python,


where each Car object has unique
attributes like color, brand, and model. Create Ford Mustang
and Toyota Prius as car objects with specific details.

What is an Object?
An object is an instance of a class. When a class is
defined, no memory is allocated until an object is created
using the class blueprint. Objects of a Car class will each represent a specific car.

My_car = Car(“Toyota”, “Corolla”, 2021)


my_car.start() # Outputs: The car is starting.

A Car class is defined to model a vehicle. Creating an


instance of Car named my_car initializes it with
specific attributes, and invoking my_car.start()
triggers an action that outputs a message indicating the
car is starting.

9.2. Constructors and Destructors

Constructors
Constructors are special methods called when a new object is instantiated. In
Python, the __init__ method acts as a constructor. It initializes the attributes of the
class for a new object using data passed to it at the time the object is created.
