When working with an Object Oriented Programming language like Python, encapsulation in Python is one of the 4 important concepts to understand. The other three are inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. What is Encapsulation? When working with classes and dealing with sensitive data, providing global access to all the variables used within the program is not […]

Polymorphism means having vivid or different forms. In the programming world, Polymorphism refers to the ability of the function with the same name to carry different functionality altogether. It creates a structure that can use many forms of objects. This permits functions/arguments to use entities of different types at different times. In object-oriented programming, Polymorphism allows a […]

Object-oriented programming (OOP) refers to the software design wherein programmers define the data type of a data structure, and the types of functions that can be applied to the data structure. This paradigm provides functionalities and behavior pattern to the structure of data. This paradigm maps and models real-world things together and describes a relationship among […]

When a class inherits from more than one class, it’s called multiple inheritances. Python supports multiple inheritances whereas Java doesn’t support it. The properties of all the super/base classes are inherited into the derived/subclass. Python Multiple Inheritance Syntax The syntax for Multiple Inheritance is also similar to the single inheritance. By the way, the derived […]

Inheritance at a glance! In the world of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Inheritance refers to the mechanism of the capability of a class to derive or extend the properties from another class in the run. This property enables the derived class to acquire the properties or traits of the base class. Inheritance is considered one of […]

Python class constructor function job is to initialize the instance of the class. Python __init__() is the constructor function for the classes in Python. Python __init__() Function Syntax The __init__() function syntax is: The def keyword is used to define it because it’s a function. The first argument refers to the current object. It binds […]
