What are private and public attributes in Python?

In Python, public attributes can be accessed from outside the class, while private attributes are intended to be hidden.

How do I define a private attribute in a class?

You can define a private attribute by prefixing its name with two underscores, like this: __private_attr.

Can you give me an example of using private and public attributes?

Sure! Here's a simple class example:

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.public_attr = 'I am public'
        self.__private_attr = 'I am private'

obj = MyClass()
print(obj.public_attr)  # Accessible
print(obj.__private_attr)  # Raises an AttributeError
