The syntax of the vars() function is:
vars(object)
1. vars() Parameters
vars() takes a maximum of one parameter.
- object – can be module, class, instance, or any object having the
__dict__attribute.
2. Return Value from vars()
vars()returns the__dict__attribute of the given object.- If the object passed to
vars()doesn’t have the__dict__attribute, it raises aTypeErrorexception. - If no argument is passed to
vars(), this function acts like locals() function.
Note: __dict__ is a dictionary or a mapping object. It stores object’s (writable) attributes.

class Foo:
def __init__(self, a = 5, b = 10):
self.a = a
self.b = b
object = Foo()
print(vars(object))
