Class vs Instance Variables In Python

What is the difference between class vs instance variables in Python? Python classes are defined objects that act as a blueprint to python instances and class variables are the variables inherited by any object that is based on that blueprint. Python instances are created sub-objects of the classes. The variables specific to a python instance are called instance variables. Therefore, instances in python contain all their instance variables and any class variables they inherited from the class blueprint.

The video was excellent minus a minor mistake at the end. You wanted to illustrate the difference between printing a class variable and printing an instance variable, but you printed the weight and the color, which were both instance variables. I believe you meant to print the the vehicle which is a class variable.

Concisely worded. Helped me understand something I previously didn't 👍

So if I had another class called "Joe" and I need to use the Vehicle variable how do I use that in another class?

Send us to a link that you didn't paste in the description 😕

But you haven't used the "vehicle variable. So it's unclear why it's there. Just a name tag?
