Introduction to Attributes and Methods
Attributes and methods define the characteristics and behavior of objects in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Attributes store data, while methods perform actions.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to define and use attributes and methods effectively in Python classes.

What Are Attributes?
Attributes are variables that belong to a class or an object. They are defined inside the class and describe the properties of an object:
# Defining attributes in a class
class Person:
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.name = name
self.age = age
person1 = Person("Alice", 30)
print(person1.name, person1.age)
