What are classes in Python OOP?

Classes in Python OOP are blueprints for creating objects. They encapsulate data for the object and methods to manipulate that data.

Can you give me an example of a class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

    def bark(self):
        return 'Woof!'

This defines a Dog class with a constructor and a method.

What is the purpose of the init method?

The __init__ method is a special method called a constructor. It initializes the object's attributes when an instance of the class is created.

How do I create an object from a class?

You can create an object by calling the class like a function. For example:

dog1 = Dog('Buddy', 3)
