Implementing OOP in Python with BankAccount and InventoryItem Classes

Day 5 of my Python learning journey — diving deeper into OOP Today I implemented two core classes: BankAccount and InventoryItem, with a focus on clean design and proper encapsulation. A key takeaway: Validate first, then modify state — never the other way around. I also caught a few common pitfalls early: • Exposing internal attributes directly • Performing validation after state changes • Duplicating logic across methods This exercise reinforced an important principle: a well-designed class should be self-protecting. External code should interact with it safely through defined interfaces, without risking inconsistent state. Feeling more confident with structuring real-world logic using classes and applying these concepts in API design with FastAPI.
