Welcome to the advanced OOP section! Here, we'll explore deeper topics in object-oriented programming with Python.

Key Topics Covered

  • Classes & Objects
    Understand how to define classes, create objects, and use constructors.
    📌 Example: 

    class Animal:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def speak(self):
        pass

  • Inheritance
    Learn about single/multiple inheritance and method overriding.
    📌 Example: 

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

  • Polymorphism
    Discover how to implement polymorphism using method overriding and duck typing.
    🦆 Tip: Use super() to call parent class methods.

  • Encapsulation
    Explore data hiding with private attributes (_var) and properties.
    🔒 Example: 

    @property
def name(self):
    return self._name

  • Abstraction
    Use abstract classes and interfaces to simplify complex systems.
    📌 Learn more about Python's abstract class implementation.
