What we have learnt
- Abstract data types are crucial for creating structured programs.
- Python classes and objects facilitate the implementation of these data types.
- Effective use of methods enhances the capabilities of classes, allowing for greater functionality within objects.
Key Concepts
- -- Abstract Data Types
- A data type that encapsulates data and operations on the data, defining a specific set of behaviors and properties.
- -- Class
- A blueprint for creating objects, defining attributes and methods that the created objects will have.
- -- Object
- An instance of a class, representing a specific realization of the class attributes and behaviors.
- -- Method
- A function defined in a class that operates on instances of that class, allowing manipulation of object attributes.
