Python OOP

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses objects and classes. Python is an object-oriented programming language that supports all the core concepts of OOP.

What is OOP?

OOP is a way of organizing code that focuses on:

  • Classes: Blueprints for creating objects
  • Objects: Instances of classes
  • Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods together
  • Inheritance: Creating new classes from existing ones
  • Polymorphism: Using a single interface for different data types

Why Use OOP?

OOP helps you write:

  • More organized and maintainable code
  • Reusable components
  • Code that models real-world entities
  • Scalable applications
