# Object-Oriented Programming in Python

Python is an object-oriented programming language. This means that it provides features that support object-oriented programming (OOP).

## Classes and Objects

A class is a blueprint for creating objects. An object is an instance of a class.

### Creating a Class

```python
class MyClass:
  x = 5
```

### Creating an Object

```python
p1 = MyClass()
print(p1.x)
```

## The `__init__()` Function

The `__init__()` function is a special function that is called when an object is created. It is used to initialize the object's state.

```python
class Person:
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

p1 = Person("John", 36)

print(p1.name)
print(p1.age)
```

## Methods

Methods are functions that belong to an object.

```python
class Person:
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

  def myfunc(self):
    print("Hello my name is " + self.name)

p1 = Person("John", 36)
p1.myfunc()
```
