Structs in Assembly Language
Based on your input, here’s the translated code and explanation from Go to Python in Markdown format:
Our example will demonstrate the usage of structs, which are typed collections of fields. They’re useful for grouping data together to form records.
This Person
class type has name
and age
fields.
The new_person
function constructs a new Person
instance with the given name.
Python has automatic garbage collection, so objects are cleaned up when there are no active references to them.
This syntax creates a new Person
instance.
You can name the fields when initializing a Person
.
Omitted fields will be set to their default values.
You can create a reference to a Person
instance.
It’s idiomatic to encapsulate new instance creation in constructor functions.
Access class fields with a dot.
You can also use dots with class references - the references are automatically dereferenced.
Classes are mutable.
If a class type is only used for a single value, we don’t have to give it a name. The value can have an anonymous class type.
