x1. Python Classes and Objects

x1.1 Classes and Objects

Python is an object oriented programming language.

Almost everything in Python is an object, with its properties and methods.

A Class is like an object constructor, or a "blueprint" for creating objects.

Create a Class

To create a class, use the keyword class:

Example

Create a class named MyClass, with a property named x:

class MyClass:

  x = 5

Create Object

Now we can use the class named MyClass to create objects:

Example

Create an object named p1, and print the value of x:

p1 = MyClass()

print(p1.x)

The __init__() Function

The examples above are classes and objects in their simplest form, and are not really useful in real life applications.

To understand the meaning of classes we have to understand the built-in __init__() function.

All classes have a function called __init__(), which is always executed when the class is being initiated.

Use the __init__() function to assign values to object properties, or other operations that are necessary to do when the object is being created.

Example

Create a class named Person, use the __init__() function to assign values for name and age:

class Person:

  def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

 

p1 = Person("John", 36)

 

print(p1.name)

print(p1.age)

Note: The __init__() function is called automatically every time the class is being used to create a new object.

The __str__() Function

The __str__() function controls what should be returned when the class object is represented as a string.

If the __str__() function is not set, the string representation of the object is returned:

Example

The string representation of an object WITHOUT the __str__() function:

class Person:

  def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

 

p1 = Person("John", 36)

 

print(p1)

Example

The string representation of an object WITH the __str__() function:

class Person:

  def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

 

  def __str__(self):

    return f"{self.name}({self.age})"

 

p1 = Person("John", 36)

 

print(p1)

Object Methods

Objects can also contain methods. Methods in objects are functions that belong to the object.

Let us create a method in the Person class.

Example

Insert a function that prints a greeting, and execute it on the p1 object:

class Person:

  def __init__(self, name, age):

    self.name = name

    self.age = age

 

  def myfunc(self):

    print("Hello my name is " + self.name)

 

p1 = Person("John", 36)

p1.myfunc()

The self Parameter

The self parameter is a reference to the current instance of the class, and is used to access variables that belong to the class.

It does not have to be named self, you can call it whatever you like, but it has to be the first parameter of any function in the class.

Example

Use the words mysillyobject and abc instead of self:

class Person:

  def __init__(mysillyobject, name, age):

    mysillyobject.name = name

    mysillyobject.age = age

 

  def myfunc(abc):

    print("Hello my name is " + abc.name)

 

p1 = Person("John", 36)

p1.myfunc()

Modify Object Properties

You can modify properties on objects like this.

Example

Set the age of p1 to 40:

p1.age = 40

Delete Object Properties

You can delete properties on objects by using the del keyword.

Example

Delete the age property from the p1 object:

del p1.age

Delete Objects

You can delete objects by using the del keyword.

Example

Delete the p1 object:

del p1

The pass Statement

class definitions cannot be empty, but if you for some reason have a class definition with no content, put in the pass statement to avoid getting an error.

Example

class Person:

  pass

x1.2 Exercise

1. When the class object is represented as a string, there is a function that controls what should be returned, which one?

A. __init__()

B. __str__()

C. __return__()

D. __toString__()

2. What is the correct syntax for deleting an object named person in Python?

A. person.delete()

B. delete person

C. del person

D. del (person)

3. Write a Python program, with following requies:

- Create class named Student, include properties: name, age, GPA

- Write the __init__() function to fill information into the object

- Create 3 objects from Student class: s1, s2, s3

- Write the __str__() to print student's information following this pattern: 

STT     Name Age     GPA

1          Teo     11        3.0

2          Ti         12        3.5

3          Mui     13        3.3  

4. Write a Python program, to manage all students of a class, with following requies:

- Create class named Student, include properties: name, age, GPA

- Write the __init__() function to fill information into the object

- User input the number of student (number > 5)

- Create each object for a student. Use a loop (for or while) to input data from the keyboard for each student.

- Write the __str__() to print student's information following this pattern: 

STT     Name Age     GPA

1          Teo     11        3.0

2          Ti         12        3.5

3          Mui     13        3.3 

...

- Create the main() function to test the program

3. Write a Python program, with following requires:

- Create class named Student, include properties: name, age, GPA

- Write the __init__() function to fill information into the object

- Create 3 objects from Student class: s1, s2, s3

- Write the __str__() to print student's information following this pattern: 

STT     Name Age     GPA

1          Teo     11        3.0

2          Ti         12        3.5

3          Mui     13        3.3  

[codex1_3.py]

# Create class Student

class Student:

    def __init__(self, name, age, GPA):

        self.name = name

        self.age = age

        self.GPA = GPA

 

    def __str__(self):

        return f"{self.name}\t{self.age}\t{self.GPA:.1f}"

 

# Create 3 student objects

s1 = Student("Teo", 11, 3.0)

s2 = Student("Ti", 12, 3.5)

s3 = Student("Mui", 13, 3.3)

 

# Print the student information

print("STT\tName\tAge\tGPA")

print("1\t" + str(s1))

print("2\t" + str(s2))

print("3\t" + str(s3))

class Student:

    def __init__(self, name, age, GPA):

        self.name = name

        self.age = age

        self.GPA = GPA

 

    def __str__(self):

        return f"{self.name}\t{self.age}\t{self.GPA:.1f}"

 

def main():

    num_students = int(input("Enter the number of students (more than 5): "))

    while num_students <= 5:

        print("Number of students must be greater than 5.")

        num_students = int(input("Enter the number of students: "))

 

    students = []

    for i in range(1, num_students + 1):

        name = input(f"Enter name for student {i}: ")

        age = int(input(f"Enter age for student {i}: "))

        GPA = float(input(f"Enter GPA for student {i}: "))

        students.append(Student(name, age, GPA))

 

    print("STT\tName\tAge\tGPA")
