Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python - Skillzam

Why is OOP Important for Data Science?

OOP helps in data science by:


- Organizing Code
- Reusability
- Scalability
It allows structuring complex models efficiently.

1. What is OOP?

OOP is a programming paradigm based on objects containing attributes (data) and methods (functions).

2. Classes and Objects

A class is a blueprint, and an object is an instance of that class.

Example:
class Car:
def __init__(self, brand, color):
self.brand = brand
self.color = color

def drive(self):
print(f'The {self.color} {self.brand} is driving!')

my_car = Car('Tesla', 'Red')


print(my_car.brand)
my_car.drive()

3. The __init__ Method

This special method initializes objects.

Example:
class Student:
def __init__(self, name, grade):
self.name = name
self.grade = grade

def show_info(self):
print(f'Student: {self.name}, Grade: {self.grade}')

s1 = Student('Alice', 'A')
s1.show_info()

4. The self Keyword

The self keyword refers to the current instance of the class and allows access to its attributes and methods.

5. Inheritance

Inheritance allows a child class to inherit attributes and methods from a parent class.

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

def speak(self):
print('Some sound...')

class Dog(Animal):
def speak(self):
print(f'{self.name} says Woof!')

dog1 = Dog('Buddy')
dog1.speak()

6. Encapsulation

Encapsulation restricts direct access to data.

Example:
class BankAccount:
def __init__(self, balance):
self.__balance = balance

def deposit(self, amount):


self.__balance += amount

def get_balance(self):
return self.__balance

acc = BankAccount(1000)
acc.deposit(500)
print(acc.get_balance())

7. Polymorphism

Polymorphism allows methods with the same name to behave differently in different classes.

Example:
class Bird:
def sound(self):
print('Some bird sound')

class Parrot(Bird):
def sound(self):
print('Parrot says: Squawk!')

class Crow(Bird):
def sound(self):
print('Crow says: Caw!')

for bird in [Parrot(), Crow()]:


bird.sound()

8. OOP in Data Science

OOP is used in data science for:


- Data Modeling (e.g., pandas DataFrame)
- Machine Learning Models (e.g., scikit-learn)
- Encapsulation of ML data

- Reusable ML structures

Example:
class Data:
def __init__(self, dataset):
self.dataset = dataset

def get_mean(self):
return sum(self.dataset) / len(self.dataset)

data = Data([10, 20, 30, 40])


print(data.get_mean())
