    Study Notes

    Mathematical Operations

    • Import modules for functions and variables from other modules.
    • Use module_name.var to access functions and values.

    Exception Handling

    • Use try/except statements to handle exceptions.
    • The try block contains code that might throw an exception.
    • The except block defines actions for a specific exception.
    • Multiple except blocks can handle different exceptions.

    Pass Statement

    • pass does nothing, serving as a placeholder.
    • Useful when a statement is needed syntactically but no action is required.

    Object-Oriented Programming

    • Objects are instances of classes, combining data and methods.
    • Special __init__ method initializes object attributes.
    • Key concepts in OOP:
      • Encapsulation: Restricting access to data and methods.
      • Polymorphism: Objects of different classes responding to the same message differently.
      • Inheritance: Creating new classes based on existing ones.

    Encapsulation

    • Data hiding enhances security and control over data flow.
    • Three levels of access restriction:
      • Public: Accessible from anywhere (var)
      • Private: Accessible only within the class (__var)
      • Protected: Accessible within the class and its subclasses (_var)

    Get and Set Methods

    • Get methods retrieve the value of an attribute.
    • Set methods modify the value of an attribute, often for validation purposes.
