Object Oriented Python Tutorial
Summary with Examples
Key Concepts, Inputs & Outputs
Introduction to OOP
• Python is object-oriented: focuses on objects
& classes.
• Main pillars: Inheritance, Encapsulation,
Abstraction, Polymorphism.
• Helps map real-world problems into code
easily.
Python Data Structures
• Lists: mutable collections.
• Tuples: immutable sequences.
• Dictionaries: key-value pairs.
• Sets: unique unordered elements.
Building Blocks of OOP
• Classes: Blueprints with attributes (data) &
methods (behavior).
• Objects: Instances of classes.
• Encapsulation hides internal state, use
getters/setters.
Examples: Classes & Objects
• Example: class MyClass with method
say_hello()
• Input: my_obj = MyClass(); my_obj.say_hello()
• Output: 'Hello World'
Inheritance & Polymorphism
• Classes can inherit methods and attributes
from parent classes.
• Polymorphism allows same method names
with different implementations.
• Example: Animal -> Dog & Cat with
show_affection() different outputs.
Advanced Topics
• Class vs Instance attributes.
• Static & Class methods.
• Multiple Inheritance and Method Resolution
Order (MRO).
File I/O & Exceptions
• Open, Read, Write files with open().
• Handle exceptions using try/except blocks.
• Serialize objects using Pickle or JSON.
