Introduction to classes in Python
Every class must have a name, often starting with a capital, so we choose Y as the name since the class represents a mathematical function with name \( y \). Figure 1 sketches the contents of class Y as a so-called UML diagram, here created with aid of the program class_Y_v1_UML.py. The UML diagram has two "boxes", one where the functions are listed, and one where the variables are listed. Our next step is to implement this class in Python.

2 weeks ago - I'm not a massive fan of using annotations in concept, because they obfuscate what's taking place. Unlike in (say) Python, where annotations are effectively functions wrapping the function they annotate, in java they're more akin to a customisable preprocessor.

What is the difference between class and function in Python? - Quora
Answer (1 of 4): A function is a piece of code that is called by name. It can be passed data to operate on (i.e., the parameters) and can optionally return data (the return value).

Python classes can have a special method called __init__ that defines how the class is initialised and can take in user supplied arguments. In OOP languages like C++ the __init__ method is equivalent to what is called a constructor. class Particle: def __init__(self, name, charge, mass): # the initialisation function self.name = name self.charge = charge self.mass = mass

you have to use self as the first parameters of a method
in the second case you should use
class MathOperations:
def testAddition (self,x, y):
return x + y
def testMultiplication (self,a, b):
return a * b
and in your code you could do the following
tmp = MathOperations()
print tmp.testAddition(2,3)
if you use the class without instantiating a variable first
print MathOperation.testAddtion(2,3)
it gives you an error "TypeError: unbound method"
if you want to do that you will need the @staticmethod decorator
For example:
class MathsOperations:
@staticmethod
def testAddition (x, y):
return x + y
@staticmethod
def testMultiplication (a, b):
return a * b
then in your code you could use
print MathsOperations.testAddition(2,3)

disclaimer: this is not a just to the point answer, it's more like a piece of advice, even if the answer can be found on the references
IMHO: object oriented programming in Python sucks quite a lot.
The method dispatching is not very straightforward, you need to know about bound/unbound instance/class (and static!) methods; you can have multiple inheritance and need to deal with legacy and new style classes (yours was old style) and know how the MRO works, properties...
In brief: too complex, with lots of things happening under the hood. Let me even say, it is unpythonic, as there are many different ways to achieve the same things.
My advice: use OOP only when it's really useful. Usually this means writing classes that implement well known protocols and integrate seamlessly with the rest of the system. Do not create lots of classes just for the sake of writing object oriented code.
Take a good read to this pages:
- http://docs.python.org/reference/datamodel.html
- http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html
you'll find them quite useful.
If you really want to learn OOP, I'd suggest starting with a more conventional language, like Java. It's not half as fun as Python, but it's more predictable.
