Python OOP
Objects
They represent real-world entities or abstract concepts within your code. Each object is
like a self-contained unit with its own data and the ability to perform actions.
Classes
They serve as blueprints or templates for creating objects. Classes define the common
characteristics (attributes) and behaviors (methods) that all objects of that class share.
Encapsulation
This means keeping the details of how an object works hidden inside the object, so you
can change those details without breaking the rest of your program. It bundles data and
the actions that operate on that data within a class, protecting the internal state of an
object.
Abstraction
This simplifies complex systems by focusing on essential features and interactions, hiding
unnecessary details. It focuses on what an object does rather than how it does it, so your
code is easier to understand and use.
Inheritance
This lets you create new kinds of objects that are based on existing ones, inheriting their
features and adding new ones. This promotes code reuse and models hierarchical
relationships.
Polymorphism
This means you can treat different kinds of objects in a similar way, as long as they share a
common interface. This provides flexibility and adaptability in your code.
