Objects in Python

What is an Object?

In real life, everything around us is an object — like a phone, a car, a ball, or a book.

Each object has:

• Properties (like color, size, weight)
• Actions (like ringing, driving, bouncing, or opening)

In Python, it's the same!
An object is something that stores data (like properties) and can do things (like actions).

Python is Object-Oriented

Python is called an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language.
This means Python works with objects in a smart way — we can create, use, and manage them easily.

Example of an Object

Let's take a simple example:

x = 5

Here, x is a variable, and it stores the value 5.

But actually, Python treats 5 as an object of type int (which stands for integer).

So:

• 5 is an object
• It has properties and actions

You can try:

print(type(x))

This will show:

<class 'int'>

This means x is an object of the class int.

Real-Life Analogy

Let's imagine a dog:

• Its properties: name = "Bruno", color = "brown", age = 3
• Its actions: bark

Key Takeaways

• Everything in Python is an object
• Objects have properties (data) and actions (methods)
• Python is fundamentally object-oriented
• Even simple variables reference objects with types
