Modelling The Real World: Object Oriented Programming
So far, functions have been the main way to organize code, break a problem into small, reusable pieces of logic. But some problems aren't just about logic; they're about things a customer, a bank account, a game character that have both data and behavior bundled together. The data needs to persist and change over time. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is the approach Python offers for exactly…
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming approach that allows organizing code by bundling data and behavior into single units called objects. This method addresses the limitations of traditional functions and variables when dealing with complex entities like bank accounts, game characters, or customer records that possess both data and behavior. While traditional functions use variables and functions to manage data, OOP simplifies this process by encapsulating data and behavior within objects.
