Difference between methods and attributes in python

Question

I am learning python and doing an exercise about classes. It tells me to add nd attribute to my class and a method to my class. I always thought these were the same thing un

Answer 1

A method is a function defined in the class. An attribute is an instance variable defined in the class.

Example:

class Example(object):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def hello(self):
        print 'Hi, I am ' + self.name

Here hello is a method, and name is an attribute.
