Extending our DataShells
Inheritance - A class that takes on attributes from another, "parent" class and adds
some more of its own functionality.

Two Dinosaurs
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Is a and Has a Relationship
A Pterodactyl is-a Dinosaur
A Tyrannosaurus is-a Dinosaur
Is a Pterodactyl a dinosaur? Yes,pterodactyl inherits from dinosaur.
Is a Tyranosaurus a pterodactyl? No, but they're both dinosaurs.
Is a dinosaur a pterodactyl? No, so it doesn't work the other way, either.

DataShell with Standard Deviation
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Changing the DataShell
class DataShell:
def __init__(self, filename):
self.filename = filename
def create_datashell(self):
data_array = np.genfromtxt(self.filename, delimiter=',', dtype=None)
self.array = data_array
return self.array
def show_shell(self):
print(self.array)
def rename_column(self, old_colname, new_colname):
for index, value in enumerate(self.array[0]):
if value == old_colname.encode('UTF-8'):
self.array[0][index] = new_colname
return self.array
def five_figure_summary(self,col_position):
statistics = stats.describe(self.array[1:,col_position]
.astype(np.float))
return f"Five-figure stats of column {col_position}: {statistics}"

Allowing for a standard deviation
def get_stdev(self,col_position):
column = self.array[1:,col_position].astype(np.float)
stdev = np.ndarray.std(column,axis=0)
return f"Standard Deviation of column {col_position}: {stdev}"
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Inheritance with DataShells
class DataStDev(DataShell):
def __init__(self,filename):
DataShell.filename = filename
def get_stdev(self,col_position):
column = self.array[1:,col_position].astype(np.float)
stdev = np.ndarray.std(column,axis=0)
return f"Standard Deviation of column {col_position}: {stdev}"

Calling our new DataShell
Code to call it:
carData = 'mtcars.csv'
myStDevShell = DataStDev(carData)
myStDevShell.create_datashell()
myStDevShell.get_stdev(1)
'Standard Deviation of column 1: 5.932029552301218'

Composition In a DataShell - 1
Five-Figure Summary Composition
def five_figure_summary(self,col_position):
statistics = stats.describe(self.array[1:,col_position].astype(np.float))
return f"Five-figure stats of column {col_position}: {statistics}"

Composition In a DataShell - 2
Create DataShell Composition:
def create_datashell(self):
data_array = np.genfromtxt(self.filename, delimiter=',', dtype=None)
self.array = data_array
return self.array
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
Composing with Pandas
Create DataShell Composition:
class DataShell:
def __init__(self, filename):
self.filename = filename
def create_datashell(self):
data_array = np.genfromtxt(self.filename, delimiter=',', dtype=None)
self.array = data_array
return self.array
class DataShellComposed:
def __init__(self, filename):
self.filename = filename
def create_datashell(self):
self.df = pandas.read_csv()
return self.df
DataCamp Object Oriented Programming in Python
What does our new class look like?
carData = 'mtcars.csv'
myDatashell = DataShellComposed(carData)
myDatashell.create_datashell()
print(type(myDatashell.df))
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>

Understanding Classes and Instances of Classes.
Classes:
Made up of methods and attributes
Initialized with an init constructor method
Has a self attribute that's referring to the class (or particular instance of that class)

How to get better at OOP
1) Read well-documented codebases
2) Write your own classes
3) Ask for feedback
4) Don't get discouraged!
