Learn
A basic class consists only of the class
keyword, the name of the class, and the class from which the new class inherits in parentheses. (We’ll get to inheritance soon.) For now, our classes will inherit from the object
class, like so:
class NewClass(object): # Class magic here
This gives them the powers and abilities of a Python object. By convention, user-defined Python class names start with a capital letter.
Instructions
1.
Create a class called Animal
in the editor. For now, in the body of your class, use the pass
keyword. (pass
doesn’t do anything, but it’s useful as a placeholder in areas of your code where Python expects an expression.)
