Coding Questions

An abstract class can be considered a blueprint that defines a common interface for its subclasses to implement. It allows defining abstract methods that must be implemented in child classes. Abstract classes are useful for designing large functional units or providing a common interface for different implementations of a component. Python does not natively support abstract classes but provides an ABC module to define and register abstract base classes and methods.

Abstraction

An abstract class can be considered as a blueprint for other classes. It


allows you to create a set of methods that must be created within any child
classes built from the abstract class. A class which contains one or more
abstract methods is called an abstract class. An abstract method is a
method that has a declaration but does not have an implementation. While
we are designing large functional units we use an abstract class. When we
want to provide a common interface for different implementations of a
component, we use an abstract class.
Abstraction

Why use Abstract Base Classes :


By defining an abstract base class, you can define a common Application
Program Interface(API) for a set of subclasses. This capability is especially
useful in situations where a third-party is going to provide implementations,
such as with plugins, but can also help you when working in a large team
or with a large code-base where keeping all classes in your mind is difficult
or not possible.
Abstraction

How Abstract Base classes work :


By default, Python does not provide abstract classes. Python comes with a
module that provides the base for defining Abstract Base classes(ABC)
and that module name is ABC. ABC works by decorating methods of the
base class as abstract and then registering concrete classes as
implementations of the abstract base. A method becomes abstract when
decorated with the keyword @abstractmethod.
Abstraction

Example :
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class Animal(ABC):

def move(self):
pass

class Human(Animal):

def move(self):
print("I can walk and run")

class Snake(Animal):

def move(self):
print("I can crawl")
Abstraction

Example :
class Dog(Animal):

def move(self):
print("I can bark")

class Lion(Animal):

def move(self):
print("I can roar")
Abstraction

Example :
R = Human()
R.move()

K = Snake()
K.move()

R = Dog()
R.move()

K = Lion()
K.move()
Abstraction

Example :
Output :
I can walk and run
I can crawl
I can bark
I can roar
