Methods

Methods are actions or operations that can be performed on a particular object.
For example, if an airplane is an object, its methods might include takeoff, landing, moving, changing speed, steering, checking status, and so on. Methods help an object perform various tasks and interact with it in program code.

The methods of a class are functions designed to be used by instances. You can define a function within the class and utilize it with instances.

123456789
class Plane: name = "Unknown" def fly(self, distance): print(f"The plane {self.name} flew {distance} km") bon = Plane() bon.name = "Bon" bon.fly(56)

Note

You can retrieve the instance attributes using the self parameter within methods.

The bon.fly(56) is equal to:

Where self is the bon instance and distance is 56.
