What does the __init__ method return in Python?

__init__ does not explicitly return any value (None). Its purpose is to initialize an instance of the class by setting initial attribute values.

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, value):
        # This method does not have a return statement
        self.value = value

    def get_value(self):
        return self.value

# Creating an instance of MyClass
# Note that the return value of __init__ is not assigned to the variable 'instance'
instance = MyClass(10)
print(instance.get_value())
