6.1 Classes, Objects, and Inheritance
In Python, a class is a fundamental concept used to create objects, which are instances of the class. A class is, in essence, a blueprint for creating objects, providing initial values for state (member variables or attributes), and implementations of behavior (member functions or methods).
In object-oriented programming, classes are important because they allow you to model complex systems in a way that is both intuitive and modular. By encapsulating functionality within a class, you can create a clean, reusable design that promotes separation of concerns and reduces the complexity of your code.
Furthermore, the use of classes in Python allows for the creation of custom data types that can be used in a variety of ways. For example, you could create a class that represents a person, with attributes such as name, age, and address, and methods that allow you to interact with that person. This can be useful in many different applications, from building...
