Python Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) for Beginners

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that organizes code using classes and objects . Python supports OOP and makes it simple to create reusable, modular, and maintainable code. In this guide, we will explore Python OOP concepts step-by-step, including classes, objects, attributes , methods , inheritance , polymorphism , encapsulation , and more . By the end, you'll be able to apply OOP concepts in real projects. 1. Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming OOP revolves around the concept of objects , which are instances of classes . A class defines a blueprint for an object, including its properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods). 1.1 Benefits of OOP Reusability: Classes can be reused across multiple projects. Modularity: Code is organized into independent classes. Maintainability: Easy to update or extend features. Abstraction: Hide internal details and show only functionality. Inheritance: Create new classes based on existing ones. 2. Python Classes and Objects 2.1 D…
