Here are the steps:

  • Make a new class named Student. 
# class is defined with “class” followed by
# class name and a colon
class Student:
  • Give it an attribute “name”...
    # class attributes are defined beneath the
    # the class definition, indenting 4 spaces 
    name = "string"
  • ...and put your own name, as a string, into the attribute.

Replace “string” in the above code with your name “Atang”
