What are attributes and methods in Python's object-oriented programming?

What are attributes and methods in Python's object-oriented programming?

In Python, attributes are variables that belong to an object, while methods are functions that belong to an object.

Can you give me an example of how to define attributes and methods in a class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class Dog:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name  # attribute
        self.age = age    # attribute

    def bark(self):
        return 'Woof!'

How do I access these attributes and methods?

You can access attributes using dot notation, like my_dog.name, and call methods with parentheses, like my_dog.bark().

What happens if I try to access an attribute that doesn't exist?

If you try to access a non-existent attribute, Python will raise an AttributeError.
