A function that is called automatically each time an object is created is a(n)

“`python
class Person:
def init(self, name):
self.name = name

p = Person(“John Doe”)
print(p.name) # prints “John Doe”
“`

In this example, the Person class has a constructor called __init__(). When an object of type Person is created, the __init__() function is called automatically. The __init__() function takes one argument, which is the name of the person. The __init__() function assigns the value of the argument to the name attribute of the object.

I hope this helps!
