- Procedural programming focuses on a linear sequence of instructions and the use of functions to organize code.
- Object-oriented programming (OOP) organizes code into classes and objects, promoting a modular structure.
- OOP encapsulates data and methods within objects, enhancing code security and integrity.
- Inheritance and polymorphism in OOP facilitate code reuse and flexibility.
- OOP is beneficial for large and complex applications due to its scalability and maintainability.
- Classes in Python serve as blueprints for creating objects, defining attributes and methods.
- Objects are instances of classes, each with its own unique set of attributes and methods.
- The __init()__ function in Python classes initializes object attributes and performs setup operations.
- The self parameter in Python classes references the current instance of the class.
- Attributes are characteristics of an object, while methods are actions the object can perform.
- The str() function defines the string representation of a class object for more informative output.
- UML is a standardized visual language for describing, specifying, and documenting software system architecture.
- UML class diagrams visually represent a class by dividing it into three sections: name, attributes, and methods.
- The class name is placed in the top section of a UML class diagram.
- Attributes and methods of a class are listed in the middle and bottom sections of a UML class diagram, respectively.
