Python OOP Concepts

1. What are OOP Concepts?

OOP means Object-Oriented Programming.

In simple words:
👉 OOP is a way to write programs using classes and objects
👉 It helps make code clean, reusable, and easy to manage

Python OOP has four main concepts:

  1. Class & Object

  2. Encapsulation

  3. Inheritance

  4. Polymorphism

2. Class and Object

What is a Class?

A class is a blueprint.

What is an Object?

An object is a real thing made from a class.

Example


 

3. Encapsulation

Encapsulation means keeping data safe inside a class.

In simple words:
👉 Data and methods stay together
👉 We control how data is used

Example


 

👉 User cannot directly change balance without method.

4. Inheritance

Inheritance means one class gets features from another class.

In simple words:
👉 Child class uses parent class code
👉 Saves time and code

Example


 

5. Polymorphism

Polymorphism means same method name, different behavior.

In simple words:
👉 Same function
👉 Different results

Example


 

6. Abstraction (Basic Idea)

Abstraction means hiding complex details.

In simple words:
👉 Show only what is needed
👉 Hide how it works

Example


 

👉 User does not know engine details.

7. Why Use OOP?

✔ Code is reusable
✔ Easy to maintain
✔ Easy to understand
✔ Used in real projects

8. Real-Life Example (Student System)

Example


 

9. Common Beginner Mistakes

❌ Forgetting self


 

❌ Wrong.

❌ Thinking OOP is Mandatory

👉 Small programs can be simple.

10. Simple Practice Examples

Example 1: Shape


 

Example 2: Employee


 

Example 3: Vehicle


 

11. Summary (Python OOP Concepts)

✔ OOP uses classes and objects
✔ Encapsulation keeps data safe
✔ Inheritance reuses code
✔ Polymorphism allows flexibility
✔ OOP makes programs powerful

📘 Perfect for Beginner eBook

This chapter is ideal for:
