    # Define the constructor to be executed when the class object is created.
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = "Sample Class"
        
    # Define a method as part of the class.
    def printname(self):
        print(self.name)
        
# Create an object using the class. 
sampleobject = SampleClass()

# Use the object.
sampleobject.printname()
