OOP in Python - Cheat Sheet

1. Class and Object

A class is a blueprint, and an object is an instance of that class.

Example:

class Student:

def __init__(self, name):

self.name = name

s1 = Student('John')

print(s1.name)

2. Constructor (__init__)

The __init__ method is called when an object is created. Used to initialize variables.

3. self Keyword

'self' refers to the current instance of the class. It must be the first parameter in instance methods.

4. Inheritance

Inheritance allows a class to inherit methods and attributes from another class.

Example:

class Animal:

def speak(self):

print('Animal speaks')

class Dog(Animal):

pass

d = Dog()

d.speak()

5. Method Overriding

A child class can redefine a method from the parent class.

class Dog(Animal):

def speak(self):

print('Bark')

6. Encapsulation

Encapsulation means hiding the internal state using private variables.

Example:

class Bank:

def __init__(self):

self.__balance = 1000

def get_balance(self):

return self.__balance

7. Polymorphism

Same method name behaves differently for different classes.

Example:

class Cat:

def sound(self):

print('Meow')

class Dog:

def sound(self):

print('Bark')

def make_sound(animal):

animal.sound()

make_sound(Dog())

make_sound(Cat())
