[Tutor] When to use def __init__ when making a class?

[brandon w]

I have two questions:

1)  When should I use "def __init__(self):" when I create a class?

2)  Would these two classes have the same effect?

class Name:
        def __init__(self):
                man = Marcus
                woman = Jasmine
                return self.man, self.woman



class Name:
        man = Marcus
        woman = Jasmine
        return man, woman
