What's Object-Oriented Programming? (OOP)
A way to build flexible, reproducible code
Developing building blocks to developing more advanced modules and libraries
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Imperative Style and OOP Style
IMPERATIVE
our_list = [1,2,3]
for item in our_list:
print(f"Item {item}")
OOP
class PrintList:
def __init__(self,numberlist):
self.numberlist = numberlist
def print_list(self):
for item in self.numberlist:
print(f"Item {item}")
A = PrintList([1,2,3])
A.print_list()

What's NumPy?
NumPy is a package for scientific computing in Python.
Uses matrices and vectors as data structures
Perfect for data science, where data is laid out in table-like formats
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
NumPy as a building block to Pandas

NumPy Array example
Example:
import numpy as np
our_array = np.array([2,3,4])
print(our_array)
[2 3 4]
print(type(our_array))
<type 'numpy.ndarray'>
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Creating Multi-Dimensional Arrays
Example 1:
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14]])
Example 2:
array([6, 7, 8])

Introduction to Classes
Vicki Boykis
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
What is a class?
class PrintList:
A reuseable chunk of code that has
def __init__(self,numberlist):
methods and variables. self.numberlist = numberlist
def print_list(self):
for item in self.numberlist:
print(f"Item {item}")
A = PrintList([1,2,3])
A.print_list()

OOP Vocabulary
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
A Class is a template for an object
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Declaring a Class
Declaring a class
class Dinosaur:
pass
# Used in Python 3, with/without parentheses
class Dinosaur():
pass
# Used in Python 2
class Dinosaur(object):
pass
An object is an instance of a class.
Tyrannosaurus = Dinosaur()
