[Python] What is the difference between an object and an instance?

Question

I'm still a bit confused on that.

Answer 1

I got this analogy from code academy but hopefully it helps.

A blueprint for a house design is like a class description. All the houses built from that blueprint are objects of that class. A given house is an instance.

Answer 2

Instance of a class is called as an object.
Both same..

Answer 3

Thank you for the answers!

Answer 4

Thanks, Geoffrey!

Answer 5

Object = Instance of a Class

So yes an instance is an object.

If you want to know who is the parent Class of an object you can use
print( type( myVar ) )

For example:

print(type(5))

output: int
