* Create new type of objects using the Class construct and investigate different ways in using them. :Python is an object oriented programming language. Python uses the concept of "objectsobject" to store data(attributes) and code(methods) efficiently for later use. By using objects, programming languages gain the advantage of making large/complex programs into smaller and modular objectscodes, which can be used or shared with other codeusers/programs. In Python, almost everything that we have used is actually an object with a specific purpose, however starting in this lab we will create our own objects, and investigate different ways to use them.

:In previous labs, you have been advised to make notes and use online references. This also relates apply to learning about objected object oriented programming to help becoming "overwhelmed" with the volume of information in this lab.

:Below is a table with links to useful online Python reference sites (by category)document for Classes and objects. You may find these references useful when performing assignments should study the information given below and make sure you understand the key concepts introduced and labsdiscussed before start working on this lab.

:Each object of a class that we write in Python can contain variables, functions, code, but none of the code is executed or run until the class is used to create an object. Remember that the class is a blueprint for how your object will work, the object that will be created is what will actually be running the code. This part of a class works in the same way as a function definition, the function doesn't run until it's executed, code inside classes doesn't run until the they are made into objects.

:::'''Sample Run 2 (with import into ipython3):'''<source lang="python">

# Will print: 'Student Name: Jack\nStudent Number: 931686102'

# Will print: 'GPA of student Jack is 1.0'

# Will print: ['ops535']

# Will print: 'GPA of student Jen is 0.0'

# Will print: []

::3. Exit the ipython3 shell, download Download the checking script and check your work. Enter the following commands from the bash shell.<source lang="bash">

::4. Before proceeding, make certain that you identify any and all errors in lab6a.py. When the checking script tells you everything is OK before proceeding - proceed to the next step.
