TOPICS: class, object, instance attributes, class attributes, inheritance, encapsulation, polymorphism

• Classes define functions called methods, which identify the behaviors and actions that an object created from the class can perform with its data.

• Instance is an object that is built from a class and contains real data. Instance object consists of attributes and methods.

• Attributes created in .init() are called instance attributes, which are spesific only for an instance.

• Class attributes are attributes that have the same value for all class instances. You can define a class attribute by assigning a value to a variable name outside of .init().

• Class, which is a sort of blueprint for an object

• Instantiate an object from a class

• Use attributes and methods to define the properties and behaviors of an object

• Use inheritance to create child classes from a parent class

• Reference a method on a parent class using super() e.g. super().__init__()

• Check if an object inherits from another class using isinstance()

• Polymorphism allows the same interface for different objects, so programmers can write efficient code.
