HI THERE
Think of a Python class as a blueprint that creates multiple object instances which all have the same behaviors. A class is recommended to have only one responsibility. The above simple class is responsible for turning text into uppercase.
A class generally needs to have an __init__ method. When an instance of a class is created, Python executes the __init__ method of the class. Therefore, inside __init__ you may want to put the code that you want to be executed when an instance is created. In other languages, __init__ is referred to as the constructor.
