A car is an object that comes with the capacity to carry gasoline. The amount of gasoline in a car is an attribute because the car comes with a gas tank. The ability to fill the tank changes the amount of gas.

In Python and the abstract concept of object-oriented programming, objects are types of code structures that have attributes, and methods to act on those attributes. Some of these built-in methods include the addition operator, +.

In this blueprint we declare its properties and abilities, or functionality, so it can be perceived, we can be aware of it and know it exists. We can operate on (or interact with) these declarations using methods.
