Formula

Object - Oriented Programming.

Python is an object-oriented language, allowing you to structure your code using classes and objects for better organization and reusability.

Advantages of OOP

Provides a clear structure to programs

Makes code easier to maintain, reuse, and debug Helps keep your code DRY (

Don't Repeat Yourself

) Allows you to build reusable applications with less code

Tip:

The DRY principle means you should avoid writing the same code more than once. Move repeated code into functions or classes and reuse it.

What are Classes and Objects?

Formula

Classes and objects are the two core concepts in object - oriented programming.

A class defines what an object should look like, and an object is created based on that class. For example:
