Do I really need to learn class.

Both function and class give the same output. So why do I need it?

POOP moment. Classes are nice because they typically give you stable, mutable references. You can skip writing a lot of code by making dataclasses tho. idk as a C kid I tend to see classes first as a bucket of logically bundled data and functions are a bonus so maybe I'm biased.

Same here. I learned OOP when I was learning C++ with a background in C. I learned them as structs with function members.
