Study Notes
Programming Paradigms
- Programming paradigms are approaches or styles of programming.
- Common paradigms include Procedural Programming, Object-Oriented Programming, and Functional Programming.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
- Focuses on objects and their interactions.
- Organizes code into objects which are instances of classes.
- Models real-world entities and their interactions.
- Makes code more modular, reusable, and maintainable.
Core Concepts of OOP
- Class: A blueprint for creating objects.
- Object: An instance of a class representing a specific example of the class with its own data.
- Encapsulation: Bundling data (attributes) and methods that operate on the data into a single unit (class). It restricts access to some of the object’s components to protect the integrity of the data.
- Inheritance: Allows a class to inherit attributes and methods from another class, promoting code reuse.
- Polymorphism: Allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass, with methods behaving differently based on the object's class.
- Abstraction: Hides complex implementation details and shows only the necessary parts.
Benefits of OOP in Python
- Modularity: Code organized into separate classes, making it easier to manage.
- Reusability: Classes and objects can be reused across different programs.
