how to make a class in python

class Person:
  def __init__(self, _name, _age):
    self.name = _name
    self.age = _age
   
  def sayHi(self):
    print('Hello, my name is ' + self.name + ' and I am ' + self.age + ' years old!')
    
p1 = Person('Bob', 25)
p1.sayHi() # Prints: Hello, my name is Bob and I am 25 years old!

python class

class Person:#set name of class to call it 
  def __init__(self, name, age):#func set ver
    self.name = name#set name
    self.age = age#set age
   

    def myfunc(self):#func inside of class 
      print("Hello my name is " + self.name)# code that the func dose

p1 = Person("barry", 50)# setting a ver fo rthe class 
p1.myfunc() #call the func and whitch ver you want it to be with

classes in python

class Foo:
  def __init__(self):
    self.definition = Foo!
  def hi():
    # Some other code here :)
    
# Classes require an __init__ if you want to assign attributes. (self) defines what describes the attribs.

what is a class in python

A class is a block of code that holds various functions. Because they
are located inside a class they are named methods but mean the samne
thing. In addition variables that are stored inside a class are named 
attributes. The point of a class is to call the class later allowing you 
to access as many functions or (methods) as you would like with the same
class name. These methods are grouped together under one class name due
to them working in association with eachother in some way.

class methods parameters python

class Foo          (object):
    # ^class name  #^ inherits from object

    bar = "Bar" #Class attribute.

    def __init__(self):
        #        #^ The first variable is the class instance in methods.  
        #        #  This is called "self" by convention, but could be any name you want.
        #^ double underscore (dunder) methods are usually special.  This one 
        #  gets called immediately after a new instance is created.

        self.variable = "Foo" #instance attribute.
        print self.variable, self.bar  #<---self.bar references class attribute
        self.bar = " Bar is now Baz"   #<---self.bar is now an instance attribute
        print self.variable, self.bar  

    def method(self, arg1, arg2):
        #This method has arguments.  You would call it like this:  instance.method(1, 2)
        print "in method (args):", arg1, arg2
        print "in method (attributes):", self.variable, self.bar


a = Foo() # this calls __init__ (indirectly), output:
                 # Foo bar
                 # Foo  Bar is now Baz
print a.variable # Foo
a.variable = "bar"
a.method(1, 2) # output:
               # in method (args): 1 2
               # in method (attributes): bar  Bar is now Baz
Foo.method(a, 1, 2) #<--- Same as a.method(1, 2).  This makes it a little more explicit what the argument "self" actually is.

class Bar(object):
    def __init__(self, arg):
        self.arg = arg
        self.Foo = Foo()

b = Bar(a)
b.arg.variable = "something"
print a.variable # something
print b.Foo.variable # Foo

why should i use classes in python

"Why should I use classes in python?"

Classes are essential in OOP.
A good reason to use classes is to make your code structured and organised. 
Furthermore it is easy to import functions when they are part of a class since you can just import the class.
Classes provide methods that are useful such as the __repr__ method which allows you to represent an object by a string.
Classes allow for access control (encapsulation) by using the underscore character.
