Python.
Mastering Python Functions
1 Defining Functions
Functions in Python are blocks of reusable code that perform specific tasks.
They are defined using the "def" keyword, followed by the function name,
parameters (if any), and the function body. Functions can accept arguments,
return values, and help organize code into modular and manageable pieces.
2 Function Parameters
Functions can have zero or more parameters, which act as placeholders for
values that are passed to the function when it's called. Parameters allow
functions to be more flexible and adaptable, as they can work with different
input values.
3 Function Scope
Variables defined within a function have a limited scope, meaning they are
only accessible within the function itself. This concept of variable scope helps
maintain code organization and prevent unintended interactions between
different parts of the program.
Object-Oriented Programming in Python
Classes and Objects
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python revolves around the concept of classes
and objects. A class is a blueprint or template that defines the structure and behavior
of objects, while an object is an instance of a class. Classes encapsulate data
(attributes) and functionality (methods) into a single unit, promoting code reuse and
modularity.
Inheritance
Inheritance is a fundamental OOP concept that allows a new class (subclass) to inherit
attributes and methods from an existing class (superclass). This promotes code reuse
and creates a hierarchical relationship between classes, enabling the subclass to
specialize or extend the functionality of the superclass.
Polymorphism
Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common
superclass. This enables the same method name to behave differently based on the
context, making code more flexible and adaptable to changing requirements.
Abstraction
Abstraction involves simplifying complex reality by modeling classes with essential
attributes and methods while hiding unnecessary details. This helps in managing
complexity and focusing on the core functionality of the system.

Customization
Matplotlib provides a wide range of customization options,
enabling you to fine-tune the appearance of your
visualizations, from adjusting colors and labels to controlling
the layout and axes.
2 Hazardous Additives
Toxic chemicals and industrial dyes used to enhance
appearance or extend shelf life.
3 Intentional Mislabeling
Falsely claiming organic, natural, or premium status to
command higher prices.
Severity and Health Risks
1 Severe Incidents
Adulteration with toxic substances can lead to acute
poisoning, organ damage, and even fatalities.
2 Chronic Exposure
Consuming adulterated foods over time can cause long-term
health issues like cancer and developmental problems.
3 Vulnerable Populations
Children, the elderly, and those with underlying conditions
are at higher risk from adulterated foods.
