Everything About Python: What is an Object?

In object-oriented programming, an object is an instance that has the attributes (data) and methods (functions) defined by a class, which serves as a program's blueprint.

In simple terms, an object is created based on the blueprint provided by a class.

Python follows the philosophy of "Everything is an object".

Numbers, strings, functions, classes, and almost everything used in Python are considered objects.

Because of this, in Python, variables, functions, classes, and all elements have their own attributes and methods as objects.


Reviewing the Components of an Object

  • Attributes: These represent the characteristics or state of an object. For example, a dog object might have attributes like name, age, and breed.

  • Methods: These are the actions or behaviors the object can perform. For instance, a dog object might have methods that implement barking or running behaviors.

In the next lesson, we will explore concrete examples of classes and objects (instances).
