Python class Keyword Examples

Here’s an example of how to define and use a class in Python:

>>> class Dog:
...     def __init__(self, name):
...         self.name = name
...     def speak(self):
...         return f"{self.name} says woof!"
...

>>> dog = Dog("Frieda")
>>> dog.speak()
'Frieda says woof!'

In this example, we define a Dog class with an initializer method .__init__() to set the dog’s name. The .speak() method is an example of a behavior that objects of the Dog class can perform. Then, you create an instance of the Dog class named dog and call its .speak() method to see the output.
