Object Oriented Programming

Introduction

Python is an object-oriented language that fully supports OOP concepts.Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a design principle which focuses on the concept of objects, which are instances of classes.

Objects :-

In Python, everything is an object. A object is a instance of a class, which is a blueprint or a template for creating objects. Objects in Python have attributes and methods.
example :-

class  Rectangle: 
    def  __init__(self, length, width):
        self.length = length
        self.width = width
    def  area(self):
        return self.length * self.width
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Creating a object of rectangle class name rect and passing values in it.

rect = Rectangle(10, 5)
print(rect.area())
50
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Classes :-

In Python, a class is a blueprint or a template for creating objects. A class defines a set of attributes and methods that describe the behavior of the objects created from it.
For making a Class in Python. We use Class keyword.Here is a example:-

class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def introduction(self):
        print("Hi, my name is " + self.name + " and I'm " + str(self.age) + " years old.")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Creating an object of Person named class and passing values in it.

p = Person("Alice", 25)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Calling the function.

p.introduce()
# output:
Hi, my name is Alice and I'm 25 years old.
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Inheritance :-

It is a concept of creating a new class from an existing class, inheriting all the attributes and methods of the parent class. In Python, we achieved this through the use of the super() function and isinstance() function.
### 1. Single inheritance :-
It is the most common type of inheritance, where a subclass inherits from a single parent class. The subclass inherits all the attributes and methods of the parent class.
Here is a example :- In this we are creating a Animalclass and make function inside it named asspeak

class  Animal:

    def  __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name

    def  speak(self):
        print("")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a class named as Dog which is inherited by Animal class.


class  Dog(Animal):
    def  speak(self):
        print("Woof!")

dog = Dog("Rover")
print(dog.name) # output : "Rover"
dog.speak() # output: "Woof!"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2.Multiple inheritance :-

In this a subclass inherits from multiple parent classes. In this case, the subclass inherits all the attributes and methods of each parent class.
Here is example :- In this we are creating a class named Base1 and inside it we are creating a function named as method1.

class  Base1:
    def  method1(self):
        print("Base1 method")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a second class named as Base2 and inside it we are creating a function named as method2

class  Base2:
    def  method2(self):
        print("Base2 method")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a classnamed as Derived which is inheriting the class named as Base1,Base2.

class  Derived(Base1, Base2):
    pass
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a object of Drived class and callng the function of Base1 class and Base2 class.

d = Derived()   
d.method1() # Outputs "Base1 method"
d.method2() # Outputs "Base2 method"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3.Multi-level inheritance :-

In this a subclass inherits from a parent class, which in turn inherits from another parent class. In this case, the subclass inherits all the attributes and methods of both parent classes in the hierarchy.
Here is a example :-
Here we are creating a class named as Animal and passing a value in its constructor.

class  Animal:
    def  __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a class named as Mammal which is inheriting the properties of Animal class and inside this we are making a function named as speak

class  Mammal(Animal):
    def  speak(self):
        pass
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a class named as Dog which is inheriting the properties of Mammal class, which is inherting the properties of Animal class and inside this we are making a function named as speak

class  Dog(Mammal):
    def  speak(self):
        print("Woof!") 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a object Dog class and passing a value in its constructor and callinf the function and priting them.

dog = Dog("Rover")
print(dog.name) # output "Rover" 
dog.speak() # output "Woof!"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Polymorphism :-

It refers to the ability of objects of different classes to be used interchangeably, as long as they share a common interface or base class.
Here is a example :- Here we are creating a class named as Animal and creating a function named as speak inside it.

class Animal:
    def speak(self):
        print("The animal makes a sound")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a class named as Dog which is inherited by Animal class and creating a function named as speak inside it.

class Dog(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        print("The dog barks")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating a class named as Cat which is inherited by Animal class and creating a function named as speak inside it.

class Cat(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        print("The cat meows")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here we are creating objects of class Dog,Cat named as dog ,cat and callingg the speak function

dog = Dog()
cat = Cat()
dog.speak()  # Outputs "The dog barks"
cat.speak()  # Outputs "The cat meows"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Encapsulation :-

It refers to the practice of hiding the internal details of an object and providing a public interface for interacting with the object. Encapsulation is achieved through access modifiers, which control the visibility and accessibility of an object's attributes and methods

Here is a example :-

class People:
    def __init__(self, name, gender):
        self._name = name
        self._gender = gender

    def get_name(self):
        return self._name

    def set_name(self, name):
        self._name = name

person1 = People("Ankit", "Male")
print(person1.get_name())  # output: Ankit
person1.set_name("Aman")
print(person1.get_name())  # output: Aman
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Abstraction :-

It refers to the practice of hiding the complexity of an object and exposing only the essential features or interface that the user needs to interact with the object. Abstraction is achieved through abstract classes and abstract methods, which define a common interface for a group of related classes.
Here is the example :-

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class People(ABC):
    def __init__(self, name, gender):
        self.name = name
        self.gender = gender

    @abstractmethod
    def speak(self):
        pass

class Male(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        print("Hello")

class Female(Animal):
    def speak(self):
        print("Hi")

male1 = Male("Ankit", "Male")
female1 = Female("Sona", "Female")

male1.speak()  # output: Hello
female1.speak()  # output: Hi
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
