    The document discusses object-oriented programming concepts like classes, objects, attributes, and methods. It provides examples of defining classes like Address and Clock, and initializing and calling methods on objects. It also discusses inheritance and subclasses. The exercises guide the reader in writing their first class called Queue to represent a queue data structure, and designing subclasses that inherit from a generic superclass.

    Object Oriented Programming

    For the following questions, write your answers in the spaces provided.

    1. What is the difference between a local variable and an object’s attribute?

    2. What method is called when the object is created?

    3. Write the line of code you would use to call the do something method of and object instance obj. Assume
    that the do something method for obj exists.

    Understanding Objects

    For the following questions, write your answers in the spaces provided.

    1. Define a class called Address that has two attributes: number and street name. Make sure you have an
    init method that initializes the object appropriately. You do not need to define any other methods.

    2. Consider the following code:

    class Clock(object):

    def init (self, time):


    self.time = time

    def print_time(self):
    time = ’6:30’
    print self.time

    clock = Clock(’5:30’)
    clock.print_time()
    (a) What does the code print out? Guess first, and then create a Python file and run it.

    (b) Why does the code print this?

    2
    3. Consider the following code:

    class Clock(object):

    def init (self, time):


    self.time = time

    def print_time(self, time):


    print time

    clock = Clock(’5:30’)
    clock.print_time(’10:30’)

    (a) What does the code print out? Guess first, and then create a Python file and run it.

    (b) What does this tell you about giving parameters the same name as object attributes?

    4. Consider the following code:

    class Clock(object):

    def init (self, time):


    self.time = time

    def print_time(self):
    print self.time

    boston_clock = Clock(’5:30’)
    paris_clock = boston_clock
    paris_clock.time = ’10:30’
    boston_clock.print_time()

    (a) What does the code print out? Guess first, and then create a Python file and run it.

    (b) Why does it print what it does? (Are boston clock and paris clock different objects? Why or why
    not?)

    Your First Class

    For this exercise, you will be coding your very first class, a Queue class. Queues are a fundamental computer science
    data structure. A queue is basically like a line at Disneyland - you can add elements to a queue, and they maintain
    a specific order. When you want to get something off the end of a queue, you get the item that has been in there
    the longest (this is known as ‘first-in-first-out’, or FIFO). You can read up on queues at Wikipedia if you’d like to
    learn more.
    Create a new file called queue.py to make your Queue class. In your Queue class, you will need three methods:

    • init : to initialize your Queue (think: how will you store the queue’s elements? You’ll need to initialize
    an appropriate object attribute in this method)
    • insert: inserts one element in your Queue
    • remove: removes one element from your Queue and returns it. If the queue is empty, return a message that
    says it is empty (without throwing an error that halts your code).

    When you’re done, you should test your implementation. Your results should look like this:

    >> queue = Queue()


    >> queue.insert(5)
    >> queue.insert(6)
    >> queue.remove()
    5
    >> queue.insert(7)
    >> queue.remove()
    6
    >> queue.remove()
    7
    >> queue.remove()
    The queue is empty

    Be sure to handle that last case correctly - when popping from an empty Queue, print a message rather than
    throwing an error.

    Designing Your Own Inheritance

    For this exercise, we want you to describe a generic superclass and at least three subclasses of that superclass,
    listing at least two attributes that each class would have. Remember what classes will inherit (will subclasses
    inherit attributes from their parent class? Will parent classes inherit from their subclasses? Will subclasses that
    share a parent inherit from one another? Be sure you’re clear on this before continuing with this exercise.)
    It’s easiest to simply describe a real-world object in this manner. An example of what we’re looking for would be
    to describe a generic Shoe class and some specific subclasses with attributes that they might have, as shown here:

    class Shoe:
    # Attributes: self.color, self.brand

    class Converse(Shoe): # Inherits from Shoe


    # Attributes: self.lowOrHighTop, self.tongueColor, self.brand = "Converse"

    class CombatBoot(Shoe): # Inherits from Shoe


    # Attributes: self.militaryBranch, self.DesertOrJungle

    class Sandal(Shoe): # Inherits from Shoe


    # Attributes: self.openOrClosedToe, self.waterproof

    You can use any real-world object except a shoe for this problem :)
