Programming and Problem Solving
UNIT: VI Object Oriented Programming
OOP Features Programming/Implementation
Features of OOP
▪ Class
▪ Object
▪ Methods
▪ Inheritance
▪ Polymorphism
▪ Data Encapsulation and Data Hiding
Class
▪ Not possible to built real world data using Built in Data type
▪ OOP Specifically designed to solve real world problems
▪ A Class is used to describe something real world entity
▪ Class provides a template or Blueprint
▪ We can create multiple objects for the same class
▪ Therefore Class is also called collection of objects.
▪ Class is user-defined data type.
▪ Example : Student Class
Class Example
Name of
class student():
Class
Keyword a=100
Shared Data by
class
b=200 class and objects
S = student() Creating
Object
print(student.a)
print(S.a) Access to Class Data
Outside class
print(student.b) by using Object and Class
Name.
print(S.b)
Objects
▪ Object is an instance of class
▪ According to previous example, all students of class are object of that
class.
▪ Hence class can have multiple instances(objects)
▪ Every object has some data and functions associated with it.
▪ These functions stores data in variables and respond to message which it
receives from other objects.
▪ Class is logical structure where object is physical actuality.
Object Example
class student(): Name of
Class
Keyword a=100
class Class and
b=200 Object Data
def display( ): Class
Function
print(“Class Function”)
def show(self): Object
Function
print(“Object Function”)
Creating
S = student() Object
[Link]() Calling Class function
using class Name
[Link]() Calling object Function
using Object
Methods
▪ Function associated with class
▪ Defines operations
▪ Only methods of class can access data of class
▪ Every object can have different data associated with it.
▪ Python OOP contains three types of methods
Constructor method
Object Methods
Class Methods
Methods Example
class student(): Name of
Class
Keyword def __init__(self,a,b): Constructor
class Function/Method
self.a=a
self.b=b
Class
def display( ): Function
print(“Class Method / Function”)
Calling Class Object
Method def show(self): Function
print(“Object Function”)
S = student(10,10) Object Creation and Calling Constructor
Method
[Link]()
Calling object Function
using Object

Inheritance
▪ In inheritance we create new class from existing class
▪ New class called Child/Subclass/Derived class Parent Class
Name, Roll_No
▪ This new class inherits attributes of parent class Add(), Display()
▪ Inheritance relation is also called “is a” relation
▪ Main advantage of inheritance is code reusability
Child Class
Example
class parent():
a=100
b=200 class child(parent):
a=100
b=200
class child(parent): def display(self):
def display(self):
print(self.a) print(self.a)
print(self.b)
print(self.b)
Polymorphism
▪ One Name many forms
▪ Different meaning to method in different context
▪ Example
Operator Overloading
3 + 5 --------> Answer is 8
“3” + “5” ----> Answer is 35
Polymorphism
class addition():
def addition(self, a, b=100):
self.a = a We called same function
self.b = b two times. Every time count
of argument is different.
if self.b is not None: Addition is calculated on the
print(self.a + self.b) basis of count of argument.
else:
print(self.a + self.a)
Calling Function addition
A = addition() with One argument
[Link](10)
Calling Function addition
A. addition(10,100) with Two argument
Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
▪ In Data Abstraction only essential details are shown and implementation
details are hidden.
▪ Example: Television , DVD Player
▪ In Data Encapsulation class data is packed together and hidden from
outside access. It can be done by defining data private, public and
protected.
Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
class hiding():
Public Variable
a = 100
Protected
_b = 200 Variable
Private
__c = 300 Variable
def _display(self):
Protected
Method print(“I am protected function”)
Private
def __output(self): Method
print(“I am private Function”)
