Python Object Oriented Cards

tell python to make a new kind of thing

two meanings: the most basic kind of thing, and any instance of some thing

what you get when you tell python to create a class

how you define a function inside a class

inside the functions in a class, self is a variable for the instance/object being assessed

the concept that one class can inherit traits from another class

the concept that a class can be composed of other classes as parts

a property classes have that are from composition and are usually variables

a phrase to say that something inherits from another (salmon is-a fish)

a phrase to say that something is composed of other things or has a trait (salmon has-a mouth)

"make a class named X that is-a Y"

"class X has-a __init__ that takes self and J parameters"

"class X has-a function named M that takes self and J parameters"

"set foo to an instance of class X"

"from foo get the M function, then call it with parameters self, J"

"from foo get the K attribute and set it to Q"
