Today - Objects

An object is a collection of information and functions

  • In Python, everything is an object!
  • An object has information
  • An object has behavior
  • In this unit, we’ll make our own objects

You already know some objects

  • String: Has length, and functions like upper() myString = “asdf” print(myString.upper())

Objects belong to classes

  • Class - the “type” of the object
  • All objects in the same class have the same information and behavior

Let’s play a game

Group-work

With a partner discuss how an object would be useful for one of these Python programs:

  • To-Do List
  • Grade Calculator
