What’s the difference between a instance variable and a field? /u/ItsBlueSkyz Python Education

Is there a difference between the following and if there is when should i use one over the other? Thanks.

1.

class person: name: str = 'alice' 

2.

class person: def __init__(self, name): self.name = 'alice'
