Attributes

Objectives

1. Explain class attributes vs. instance attributes
2. True or False? not every object in Python has attributes
3. True or False? An attribute doesn't exist on the variable, but rather on the object that the variable refers to

Solution

1. In the following block of code x is a class attribute while self.y is a instance attribute

class MyClass(object):
    x = 1

    def __init__(self, y):
        self.y = y

2. False. Every object in Python has attributes
3. True
