Python Classes
In Python, a class is a template for constructing objects. It functions as a template for creating objects with similar features and behaviors.
To define a class in Python, use the class keyword followed by the class name.
A Python class can contain multiple components:
Attributes are variables that store data about the class or its instances.
Methods are class-defined functions. They indicate the behaviors or actions that the class can perform. Methods always have at least one parameter, usually named self, which refers to the class instance.

Initializer (Constructor): The class’s objects are initialized with the specific function __init__(). It is called automatically whenever you create a new instance of the class.
Instance Variables: Variables unique to each instance of the class. They are defined within methods and accessible via the self.
Class Variables: These are variables that are shared by all members of the class. They are specified in the class body but not in any methods.
