Unit 1: Object Oriented Programming with Python

(50 theory + 40 practical) periods

REVIEW: Python covered In Class-XI

Concept of Object Oriented Programming: Data Hiding, Data Encapsulation, Class and Object,
Polymorphism, inheritance, advantages of Object Oriented Programming over earlier programming
methodologies,
Classes: Defining classes (attributes, methods), creating instance objects, accessing attributes
and methods, using built in class attributes (dict, doc, name, module, bases), Constructor( _
_init()_ _, _ _del()_ _ and _ _ str()_ _) methods in a class, private attributes (limited support),
importance of self (acts as a pointer to current calling object) operator overloading with
methods.
Inheritance:
Concept of base class and derived class: Single, multilevel and multiple inheritance- Overriding
methods, using super( ) in derived class to invoke _ _init()_ _ or overridden methods of parent
class.
