Notes
--------

- We've talked about strings, floats, ints, lists, tuples, and dicts as basic data types. It is possible to define your own custom data types as well using classes
- I will not be expecting you to construct your own data types in this class. This section is mainly so you can understand how Python works in general. We will start using custom data types defined in external packages so it is good to have an understanding of this and how to use custom objects.
- The difference between objects of the same data type (same class definition) is the data contained within. They will all have the same functions attached to them (called methods when it is functions attached to objects)
- Feel free to study the car example in more detail to get a greater understanding of how to define classes, but we will not spend time on this
- Dataclasses are simplified versions of classes meant to group data together. We will use them to organize our model inputs.
- The lab exercises test working with externally-defined custom data types and creating and using dataclasses for our model inputs.
