Python, creating objects

Question

I\'m trying to learn python and I now I am trying to get the hang of classes and how to manipulate them with instances.

I can\'t seem to understand this practice pro

Answer 1

Create a class and give it an __init__ method:

class Student:
    def __init__(self, name, age, major):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
        self.major = major

    def is_old(self):
        return self.age > 100

Now, you can initialize an instance of the Student class:

>>> s = Student('John', 88, None)
>>> s.name
    'John'
>>> s.age
    88

Although I'm not sure why you need a make_student student function if it does the same thing as Student.__init__.
