Module 7 - Section 1 - Classes

7.1.1 - What is a Class

Classes and objects are very powerful programming tools. They make programming easier. 

Objects have attributes, such as a person's name, height, and age. Objects also have methods. Methods define what an object can do, like run, jump, or sit.

A Class is a structure that has all the information needed to define all the characteristics of an object.

In the above image Animal is a Class and Dog and Sheep are Animal Class Objects.

The Animal Class has attributes (characteristics) of the animals, like color, number of legs, weight, speed, etc.
