Python OOP Fundamentals: Classes, Objects & 4 Pillars

Day 38 — Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) If you have been writing Python using only functions, it's time to level up. OOP organises your code around objects — real-world entities that carry both data and behaviour. Python is fully object-oriented — even a simple string "hello" is an object! 🧩 The 4 Pillars of OOP: 🔒 Encapsulation — bundle data + methods, hide internals 🧬 Inheritance — child classes reuse parent class logic 🎭 Polymorphism — same method name, different behaviour 🎨 Abstraction — expose what matters, hide the complexity Class vs Object: A Class is a blueprint (e.g., Car) An Object is an instance of that blueprint(e.g., my_car = Car("Tesla")) Why learn OOP? ✅ Reusable code — inherit, don't repeat ✅ Organised — group related logic together ✅ Maintainable — change one class, affect the right places ✅ Scalable — model complex systems naturally #Python #OOP #Programming #LearningPython
