Python Programming Set 3 Flashcards

Questions and Answers

Python is a tool for what?

Python is a universal tool for both object and procedural programming.

What is the difference between procedural and object-oriented approaches?

In the procedural approach, data and code are separate, while in the object-oriented approach, data and code are enclosed together in classes.

What does the object approach suggest?

The object approach suggests that data and code are enclosed together in the same world, divided into classes.

What is a class?

Study Notes

Python Overview

Python serves as a universal tool for both object-oriented and procedural programming.

Procedural vs. Object-Oriented Approaches

The procedural approach separates data and code, with data as variables and code as modules/functions.
The object-oriented approach combines data and code within classes, promoting encapsulation.

Object-Oriented Programming Concepts

A class acts as a blueprint for creating objects, allowing the production of multiple instances.
An object embodies specific traits (attributes) and methods (activities) and interacts with other objects.

Class and Object Characteristics

Classes form a hierarchy, with subclasses being more specialized than their superclasses.
Objects belong to classes and are defined by the traits and requirements of those classes.

Inheritance and Object Attributes

Inheritance allows subclasses to inherit traits from superclasses, creating a structured hierarchy.
Objects possess three key attributes: a unique name, individual properties, and abilities (methods).

Object Programming Principles

Object programming involves defining and expanding classes to create versatile objects.

Class Syntax and Instantiation

The class keyword is used to declare a class, followed by a class name (identifier).
Creating an object from a class is known as instantiation, exemplified by my_first_object = TheSimplestClass().

Class Ideas and Inheritance

A class encapsulates ideas that can lead to the creation of various objects (instances).
Inheritance is depicted through diagrams showing the relationship between superclasses and subclasses.

Stack Structure

A stack is a data structure designed for specific data storage.

LIFO Concept

LIFO (Last In, First Out) is a term used in IT to describe the operational mechanism of a stack.
