Ch.10: Classes & Instances | Intro to Python & Programming | Coding for Managers Series
This is a presentation of Chapter 10 of the "Introduction to Python & Programming" book that accompanies the coding course in the Bachelor program at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany in the spring semester 2020.
In this video, I talk about:
- How understanding object-orientation puts everything together
- How classes are really just blueprints for objects
- How classes are like the built-in constructors and that new objects can be instantiated by calling the class
- How classes teach Python the semantics of a problem domain
- How classes allow the separation of data and behavior
- How classes enable the re-use of code
- How instance methods are just functions that are called with the object on which they are bound as the first argument
- How special methods can be used to make a custom object behave like a sequence
- How special methods can be used to overload how operator work when used with a custom object as the operand
- Examples introduced: Matrix and Vector classes that mimic numpy's ndarray type
