Well, we have been looking into multiple machine learning concept.. I know we have not covered not even 1% of things that we have to learn, however, I think along with learning machine engineering concepts it is equally important to learn a little bit of software engineering as well as object-oriented programming concepts. This will be like an add on while making your code production-ready. Which I regret not learning earlier..
Anyway, as someone said in the past “ BETTER LATE THAN NEVER”. So let us stop procrastinating any longer and look into some basics. Also, I wanted to add a series of algorithmic concepts which we can do in some other series blogs 🤪.
As I mentioned in the title, let us look into some Object-Oriented Programming Concepts for Python.
- Classes and Instances
The reason for using classes not only in python but in most modern programming languages is that it helps us to logically group our data and function and increase their reusability.
Let us consider an example of a company if we have common functions and characteristics for each of them then it will be easier for us to manage them as well as deal as the number of employees in the company increases.
Let us try creating some employee class then
We learned about how to create instance variable and they are unique to instances. As in our code the first and last . But we did not mention about class variables, and let us look into those.
Class varialbles are shared among all the instances in the class. Class variable should be same for each instance. Consider our example, our company raise and it should be same for each variable.
Let us look into the code and understand
And that is a wrap for our first session please go through the topics and try to implement the examples by yourself. Then next blog will be a continuation and stay tuned
