Introduction to O-O Python Python is an object-oriented programming language. Supports procedural programming with modules and functions. Generally, the O-O paradigm is suitable when you want to group state (data) and behavior (code) together in handy packets of functionality. The procedural paradigm, based on modules and functions, tends to be simpler and is more suitable when you don't need any of the benefits of object-oriented programming. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

Syntax All values in Python can be used as logic values. Some of the more “empty” ones, like [], 0, “” and None represent logical falsity, while most other values (like [0], 1 or “Hello, world”) represent logical truth. if 0 < month <= 12: doSomething() 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

Tuples 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN A tuple is an immutable list. A tuple can not be changed in any way once it is created Tuples are faster than lists It makes your code safer if you “write-protect” data Tuples can be converted into lists, and vice-versa.

Constructor A constructor is a method that initializes a newly created object. The overridden derived-class constructor usually calls the base-class constructor, to initialize base-class attributes before initializing derived-class attributes. If a derived class does not define a constructor, the class’s base-class constructor executes when the client creates a new object of the class. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

Inheritance Inheritance is a form of software reusability in which new classes are created from existing classes by absorbing their attributes and behaviors. The new class is referred to as a derived class, inherit from the class referred to as base class. With single inheritance, a class is derived from one base class. With multiple inheritance, a derived class inherits from several base classes. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

(cont.) We distinguish between “is-a” relationships and “has-a” relationships: “ Is a” is inheritance. In an “is a” relationship, an object of a derived-class type may also be treated as an object of the base-class type. “ Has a” is composition. In a “has a” relationship, an object has references to one or more objects of other classes as members. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

Data Abstraction One of the fundamental principles of good software engineering is that a client should not need to know how a class is implemented to use that class. Python’s use of modules facilitates this data abstraction—a program can import a class definition and use the class without knowing how the class is implemented. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

Encapsulation No methods or member variables are protected (or private or the like) in Python. Encapsulation is pretty much a matter of programming style. If you really need it, there are naming-conventions that will allow some privacy. such as; _ _ident Python compiler implicitly changes the identifier into _classname_ _ident , where classname is the name of the class. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN

“ Uses A” and “Knows A” Relationships a person object is not a car and a person object does not contain a car, a person object certainly uses a car A program uses an object simply by calling a method of that object through a reference. one object is said to have a knows a relationship with the other object; this is sometimes called an association. 29/05/09 CSE 494 Volkan TÜFEKÇİ - Gülcan AYDIN
