Object-Oriented Programming in

Python – A Lecture Note


Prepared as an academic resource
Table of Contents
Introduction
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses objects and
classes. Python supports OOP through classes, inheritance, encapsulation, and
polymorphism.

Learning Objectives
- Understand the principles of OOP

- Implement classes and objects in Python

- Use inheritance and method overriding

Theoretical Background
OOP helps in structuring a program into simple, reusable pieces of code. Key concepts
include:

- Class & Object

- Inheritance

- Encapsulation

- Polymorphism

Example Code
class Animal:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name

def speak(self):
return f"{self.name} makes a sound."

class Dog(Animal):
def speak(self):
return f"{self.name} barks."

d = Dog("Buddy")
print(d.speak())
Summary
OOP allows for cleaner code architecture and reuse. Python’s dynamic typing makes OOP
flexible.

Review Questions
- What is inheritance?

- How does polymorphism work in Python?

- Explain encapsulation with an example.
