What does this Python code do (it's about functions and classes)?

Question

I was reading some Python code and saw these lines and couldn't figure out what's happening.

Here's the code:

class Connection():
    (....)
       .
       .          
       .

def connect(name) -> Connection: ...
    (....)
    (....)
    (....)

Answer 1

It's dummy code, it doesn't do anything, it just shows you what the setup and format is of functions and classes.

Answer 2

The writer created a class called Connection. Then, they made a function called connect which, I presume, creates an instance of the Connection class and creates a connection to a database, but it is a dummy function, so it doesn't currently do something until you program it to do that.
