Python Object Oriented

Python Object Oriented
Python is an Object oriented programming Language. This means there exists a concept called ‘class’ that let’s programmer structure the codes of a software in a fashioned way. Because of the use of classes and objects, the programming became easy to understand and code.

Defining Class And Object

A class is a technique to group functions & data members and put them inside a container so that they can be accessed later by using dot (.) operator. Objects are the basic runtime entities of object oriented programming. It defines the instance of a class. Objects get their variables & functions from classes & the class we will be creating are the templates made to create object.

Object Oriented Terminologies

  • class: Classes are user defined data type that is used to encapsulate data and associated functions together. It also helps in binding data together into a single unit.
  • Data Member: A variable or memory location name that holds value to does specific task within a program.
  • Member Function: They are the functions; usually a block of code snippet that is written to re-use it.
  • Instance variable: A variable that is defined inside a method of a class.
  • Function Overloading: This technique is used to assign multiple tasks to a single function & the tasks are performed based on the number of argument or the type of argument the function has.
  • Operator Overloading: It is the technique of assigning multiple function/tasks to a particular operator.
  • Inheritance: It is the process of acquiring the properties of one class to another i.e. one class can acquire the properties of another.
  • Instantiation: It is the technique of creating an instance of a class.

Program For Class In Python

Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

class karl :
varabl
= 'Hello'

def function(self) :
print "This is a message Hello"
Another program to explain functions inside class:
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

class karl(object) :
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y

def sample(self) :
print " This is just a sample code"
In the above code, we created a class name karl using ‘class’ keyword. And two functions are used namely __init__() (for setting the instance variable) & sample(). Classes are used instead of modules because programmers can take this class ‘karl’ & use it or modify it as many times as we want & each one won’t interfere with each other. Importing a module brings the entire program into use.

Creating Objects (Instance Of A Class)

Let’s see an example to show how to create an object:
Example:
#!/usr/bin/pythonclass student:
class student:
def __init__(self, roll, name):
self.r = roll
self.n = name
print ((self.n))

#...
stud1
= student(1, "Alex")
stud2
= student(2, "Karlos")

print (("Data successfully stored in variables"))
Output:
Alex
Karlos
Data successfully stored in variables

Accessing Object Variables

We can access the object’s variable using dot (.) operator.
The syntax is:
my object_name.variable_name
Example:
print object.varabl

Accessing Attributes

Object attributes can also be accessed by using dot operator.
Example:
stud1.display()
stud2
.display()

print " total number of students are: %d" %  student.i

Use Of Pre-defined Functions

Instead of using general statements to access attributes, programmers can use the following functions:
  • getattr( obj, name [,default] ) : used to access object’s attribute
  • hasattr( object, name) : used for checking whether the attribute exists or not
  • setattr( obj, name, value ) : set or create an attribute if doesn’t exist
  • delattr( obj, name ) : used to delete an attribute

Built-In Class Attributes

All the Python built-in class attributes can be accessed using dot (.) operator like other attributes.
The built-in class attributes are:
  • __dict__: This attribute is a dictionary that contains class’s-namespace
  • __doc__: Used for class documentation string
  • __name__: used as class-name
  • __module__: used to define module name for the class in which it is defined. In interactive mode it is __main__.
  • __bases__: An empty tuple containing the base-class

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
