Introduction
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a
programming paradigm that revolves around the
concept of objects, which are instances of classes.
The fundamental principles of OOP include:
1. Classes and Objects: A class is a blueprint or
template for creating objects, which are instances
of that class. Objects have attributes (data) and
methods (behavior).
2. Inheritance: Inheritance allows new classes to be
based on existing classes, inheriting and reusing
their attributes and methods. This promotes code
reuse and helps in creating hierarchical
relationships between classes.
3. Encapsulation: Encapsulation is the mechanism
of hiding the implementation details of an object's
internal state and providing a well-defined
interface for interacting with the object.
4. Polymorphism: Polymorphism allows objects of
different classes to be treated as objects of a
common superclass, enabling code to work with
objects of different types without knowing their
specific implementation details.

Classes and Objects
A class is a blueprint for creating objects. An object
is an instance of a class, with its own attributes and
methods.

Inheritance
Inheritance allows a class to inherit attributes and
methods from another class, promoting code reuse
and creating a hierarchical relationship between
classes.

Encapsulation
Encapsulation is the mechanism of hiding data
implementation details and restricting access to
object's internal state. It promotes data abstraction
and code modularity.

Polymorphism
Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to
be treated as objects of a common superclass. It
enables code to work with objects of different
types without knowing their specific
implementation details.

Methods
Methods are functions defined within a class that
operate on the objects of that class. They allow
objects to perform actions and manipulate their
internal state.

Class and Static Methods
Class methods operate on the class itself, while
static methods are utility functions that operate
independently of any specific instance or class.

Inheritance and Overriding
Subclasses can override methods from their
superclasses to provide custom behavior while still
inheriting and reusing code from the parent class.

Multiple Inheritance
Python allows a class to inherit from multiple base
classes, enabling code reuse and the combination
of behaviors from different classes.

Composition
Composition is an alternative to inheritance, where
an object contains instances of other objects as
attributes, allowing for code reuse and flexible
object composition.

Abstract Base Classes
Abstract base classes define a common interface
that must be implemented by concrete
subclasses. They provide a way to enforce
contracts and ensure consistent behavior across
related classes.

Property Decorators
Property decorators in Python provide a way to
define attributes with getter, setter, and deleter
methods, allowing for controlled access and
validation of object attributes.

Method Overloading
Abstract base classes define a common interface
that must be implemented by concrete
subclasses. They provide a way to enforce
contracts and ensure consistent behavior across
related classes.

Operator Overloading
Python allows you to overload operators for
custom classes by defining special methods,
enabling more intuitive and expressive code when
working with objects of those classes.

Exception Handling
Exception handling is a crucial aspect of robust and
maintainable code. Python provides a built-in
mechanism for catching and handling exceptions
using try-except blocks.

Pitfalls and Best Practices
While OOP offers many benefits, it's essential to be
mindful of potential pitfalls, such as complexity due
to deep inheritance hierarchies, tight coupling
between classes, and misuse of design patterns.
Striking the right balance and following best
practices is crucial for maintainable and scalable
code.
