 In computing, we call objects that have been created from classes **instances**. Thus Jimmy's phone is an instance of a Nokia N8, Angie's phone is an instance of an iPhone 4, and Sally's is another instance of an iPhone 4.
-Python uses class-based object orientation.
 === Prototype-based object orientation ===

 There is another kind of object orientation called **prototype-based object orientation** or **prototype-based programming**. This is the kind of object-orientation used in JavaScript and some other languages. I will leave it you to get your Google on and learn more about prototype-based object orientation.
-You can do prototype-based programming with Python as well, but we'll stick to class-based programming for the rest of this.

+Python inherently class-based but lets you do prototype-based object orientation as well.((C++, Java, C#, and PHP support only class-based object orientation; JavaScript and Ruby are inherently prototype-based; Objective-C is class-based but lets you do prototypal-based programming.)) We'll stick to class-based programming for the rest of this.
 We will next define a class in Python and instantiate and use some objects.
