Adding methods and attributes

Now you'll start by creating methods that set attributes, and then add a few methods that manipulate them.

As mentioned in the first video, an object-oriented approach is most useful when your code involves complex interactions of many objects. In real production code, classes can have dozens of attributes and methods with complicated logic, but the underlying structure is the same as with the most simple class.

Your classes in this course will only have a few attributes and short methods, but the organizational principles behind them will be directly translatable to more complicated code.
