OOPs Java vs Python

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm that utilizes objects and classes, with Java and Python being prominent OOP languages that differ in syntax and features. Java is statically typed and enforces strict rules, while Python is dynamically typed and offers more flexibility. Both languages support core OOP concepts, but their approaches to inheritance, access modifiers, and method handling vary significantly.

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) – Java vs Python

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm that uses objects and classes to


structure software programs. Both Java and Python are powerful OOP languages, but they
have differences in syntax, features, and approach.

Core OOP Concepts


Concept Description

Class A blueprint for creating objects. Defines attributes (fields) and methods.
Object An instance of a class with specific data.
Encapsulation Hiding internal details and exposing only necessary parts.
Abstraction Showing essential features while hiding internal implementation.
Inheritance Acquiring properties and behaviors from another class.
Polymorphism The ability to perform a task in multiple ways (method overloading/overriding).

Java vs Python in OOP


Feature Java Python
Syntax Strict, statically typed Flexible, dynamically typed
Class Definition Must explicitly declare class variables Can define variables anywhere in class
Inheritance Single & multiple (via interfaces) Supports multiple inheritance
Access Modifiers public, private, protected No strict enforcement (name conventions)
Method Overloading Supported with different parameter types Not natively supported
Method Overriding Supported with @Override annotation Supported without annotation

Example: Class & Object in Java vs Python


Java:
class Car { String brand; Car(String brand) { this.brand = brand; } void display() {
System.out.println("Brand: " + brand); } public static void main(String[] args) { Car c = new
Car("Toyota"); c.display(); } }
Python:
class Car: def __init__(self, brand): self.brand = brand def display(self): print("Brand:",
self.brand) c = Car("Toyota") c.display()

Conclusion
Both Java and Python offer strong OOP support. Java enforces strict rules, making it
suitable for large-scale, enterprise-level applications. Python provides flexibility and
simplicity, making it great for quick development and prototyping. Understanding both
languages' OOP principles helps developers choose the right tool for the job.
