## Inside the class

Each **class** contains two kinds of information:
  - Attributes;
  - Methods.


**An attribute** is data that describes the **object** (like the length of the tail, the number of legs, hair color, etc.).

**A method** is something that an **object** can do. Methods can change or not change the attributes(cat can eat and its weight increases or cat can sleep, and nothing happens).


## Object
An **object** is one of the possible representations of the class. Creating a new class object is called **instantiating a new object**.

Here we create a `Cat` class:

Here we create a unique `cat` object based on our `Cat` class:

# Creating a class
class Cat:
  pass

# Instantiating an object
cat = Cat()

print(cat)

The object-oriented paradigm allows developers to create and structure programs using objects with predefined behavior. This is a widely used style of software organization that is easy for the development team to understand. Like most other programming languages, Python supports and implements this paradigm.

The first step is to understand the key statements. Classes, objects, attributes, methods...

Encapsulation provides access to the methods and attributes of the class.

Inheritance's main idea is to use already defined classes and produce new ones by improving and extending some other classes.

This OOP principle allows the user to change the parent class functionality and adapt it to the children's class.
