Answer 1

The getattr() function returns the value of the specified attribute from the specified object.

Lets create a class Person first which have attributes name, age and country.

When we call getattr() it will take 3 arguments as (object, attribute, default). Here we gave the arguments as Object=Person, attribute='age'. Default is used to print any statement when the attribute is not found.

class Person:
  name = "John"
  age = 36
  country = "Norway"

x = getattr(Person, 'age')

Here the answer given by this is 36.
