<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfaf Lesson Objective<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To understand advanced OOP concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, encapsulation, class methods, static methods, and magic methods<\/strong> in Python.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udde9 1. Review of OOP Basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before diving deeper, recall the core OOP structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

class Car:\n    def __init__(self, brand, color):\n        self.brand = brand\n        self.color = color\n    \n    def drive(self):\n        print(f\"{self.color} {self.brand} is driving.\")\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\uddf1 2. Inheritance (Code Reusability)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Inheritance allows one class to inherit attributes and methods from another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
class Vehicle:\n    def __init__(self, brand):\n        self.brand = brand\n\n    def start(self):\n        print(f\"{self.brand} vehicle started.\")\n\nclass Car(Vehicle):  # Child class\n    def horn(self):\n        print(\"Beep! Beep!\")\n\ncar1 = Car(\"Toyota\")\ncar1.start()\ncar1.horn()\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toyota vehicle started.\nBeep! Beep!\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\u2705 Types of Inheritance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Single<\/strong> \u2192 One parent, one child<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Multiple<\/strong> \u2192 Child inherits from multiple parents<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Multilevel<\/strong> \u2192 Grandparent \u2192 Parent \u2192 Child<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hierarchical<\/strong> \u2192 One parent, multiple children<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \u2699\ufe0f 3. Polymorphism (Many Forms)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Same method name, different behavior depending on object type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    class Dog:\n    def sound(self):\n        return \"Bark\"\n\nclass Cat:\n    def sound(self):\n        return \"Meow\"\n\nfor animal in (Dog(), Cat()):\n    print(animal.sound())\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Bark\nMeow\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \ud83d\udd12 4. Encapsulation (Data Protection)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Encapsulation hides internal data using private attributes (__<\/code> prefix).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    class BankAccount:\n    def __init__(self, balance):\n        self.__balance = balance  # Private variable\n\n    def deposit(self, amount):\n        self.__balance += amount\n\n    def get_balance(self):\n        return self.__balance\n\naccount = BankAccount(1000)\naccount.deposit(500)\nprint(account.get_balance())\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    1500\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \ud83c\udf10 5. Abstraction (Hiding Complexity)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Use abstract classes<\/strong> to define required methods without implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    from abc import ABC, abstractmethod\n\nclass Shape(ABC):\n    @abstractmethod\n    def area(self):\n        pass\n\nclass Circle(Shape):\n    def __init__(self, r):\n        self.r = r\n    def area(self):\n        return 3.14 * self.r * self.r\n\ncircle = Circle(5)\nprint(circle.area())\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    78.5\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \ud83e\uddf0 6. Class Methods and Static Methods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \ud83d\udd39 Class Method (@classmethod<\/code>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Used to modify class-level data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    class Employee:\n    company = \"ABC Corp\"\n\n    @classmethod\n    def change_company(cls, new_name):\n        cls.company = new_name\n\nEmployee.change_company(\"XYZ Ltd\")\nprint(Employee.company)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    XYZ Ltd\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \ud83d\udd39 Static Method (@staticmethod<\/code>)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Doesn\u2019t use class or instance; behaves like a utility function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    class Math:\n    @staticmethod\n    def add(a, b):\n        return a + b\n\nprint(Math.add(5, 10))\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    15\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \u2728 7. Magic Methods (Dunder Methods)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Magic (or dunder<\/em>) methods start and end with __<\/code>.
    They let you define behavior for built-in Python operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Method<\/th>Purpose<\/th>Example<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    __init__<\/code><\/td>Constructor<\/td>Initialization<\/td><\/tr>
    __str__<\/code><\/td>String representation<\/td>print(obj)<\/code><\/td><\/tr>
    __add__<\/code><\/td>Add two objects<\/td>obj1 + obj2<\/code><\/td><\/tr>
    __len__<\/code><\/td>Length<\/td>len(obj)<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \u2705 Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    class Book:\n    def __init__(self, title, pages):\n        self.title = title\n        self.pages = pages\n    \n    def __str__(self):\n        return f\"Book: {self.title}\"\n    \n    def __add__(self, other):\n        return self.pages + other.pages\n\nbook1 = Book(\"Python Basics\", 200)\nbook2 = Book(\"OOP Advanced\", 300)\n\nprint(book1)          # Uses __str__\nprint(book1 + book2)  # Uses __add__\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Output:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Book: Python Basics\n500\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n
    \ud83d\udca1 8. Real-Life Example \u2013 Employee Management System<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    class Employee:\n    raise_percentage = 1.05\n    \n    def __init__(self, name, salary):\n        self.name = name\n        self.salary = salary\n    \n    def apply_raise(self):\n        self.salary *= self.raise_percentage\n\nclass Developer(Employee):\n    raise_percentage = 1.10\n\ndev = Developer(\"Sameer\", 50000)\ndev.apply_raise()\nprint(dev.salary)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
