I am a self-taught python user (kind of.). I read much to deepen my knowledge about python. Today
I encountered a text saying:
... classes and objects ....
So I was wondering what is the difference between objects and classes in python. I taught all classes are objects, but in that case, author wouldn't have used phrase "classes and objects". I'm confused...
A class defines object properties including a valid range of values, and a default value. A class also describes object behavior. An object is a member or an "instance" of a class. An object has a state in which all of its properties have values that you either explicitly define or that are defined by default settings.
Python classes provide all the standard features of Object Oriented Programming: the class inheritance mechanism allows multiple base classes, a derived class can override any methods of its base class or classes, and a method can call the method of a base class with the same name.
These are two closely related terms in object oriented programming. The standard meaning is that an object is an instance of a class.
