Python Methods and Functions
| class sampleclass: count = 0 def increase ( self ): sampleclass.count + = 1
s1 = sampleclass () s1.increase () print s1.count
s2 = sampleclass () s2.increase () print s2.count print sampleclass.count |
Output:
1 2 2
Instance Attributes
Unlike class attributes, instance attributes are not I am common to objects. Each object has its own copy of an instance attribute (in the case of class attributes, all objects refer to one copy).
To list the attributes of an instance / object, we have two functions:
1.vars () — this function displays an instance attribute as a dictionary.
2.dir () — this function displays more attributes than the vars function because it is not instance limited. It also renders class attributes.

class emp: def __ init __ ( self ): self .name = ' xyz' self . salary = 4000 def show ( self ): print self . name print self . salary e1 = emp () print "Dictionary form:" , vars ( e1) print dir (e1) |
Output:
Dictionary form: {'salary': 4000,' name': 'xyz'} [' __doc__', '__init__',' __module__', 'name',' salary', ' show'] This article courtesy of Severe Valech ...
