Python Classes: The Power of Object-Oriented Programming
Python supports the object-oriented programming paradigm through classes. They provide an elegant way to define reusable pieces of code that encapsulate data and behavior in a single entity. With classes, you can quickly and intuitively model real-world objects and solve complex problems.
If you’re new to classes, need to refresh your knowledge, or want to dive deeper into them, then this tutorial is for you!
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
- Define Python classes with the
classkeyword - Add state to your classes with class and instance attributes
- Provide behavior to your classes with methods
- Use inheritance to build hierarchies of classes
- Provide interfaces with abstract classes
