Welcome to the beginner-friendly tutorial on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python! 🌟 This guide will walk you through the core concepts of OOP and how to implement them in Python code.

📚 Core Concepts of OOP

  • Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on data within a single unit (class).
  • Inheritance: Enabling a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.
  • Polymorphism: Allowing objects to take many forms, such as method overriding.
  • Abstraction: Simplifying complex systems by modeling classes appropriate to the problem.

🧠 Example: A Simple Class

class Dog:
    def __init__(self, name, breed):
        self.name = name  # Attribute
        self.breed = breed  # Attribute

    def bark(self):  # Method
        return f"{self.name} says: Woof! 🐾"

# Create an instance
my_dog = Dog("Buddy", "Golden_Retriever")
print(my_dog.bark())

📌 Practice Suggestions

  1. Define a class for a Car with attributes like model and color.
  2. Implement inheritance by creating a Tesla class that inherits from Car.
  3. Explore polymorphism by adding a start_engine method to both Car and Tesla classes.
