Advance Object Oriented programming in Python


The following program will illustrates the method overriding concept onf OOP. Here parent and child classes have defined with the same method name and signature. According to context the method would be executed. The actual meaning of overriding means ignoring the parent method when both have same method signature, and executing the derived class method.

===== METHOD OVERRIDING SAMPLE PROGRAM =====

class FirstClass:            #define the super class  
 def setdata(self, value):     # define methods
  self.data = value # ‘self’ refers to an instance 
 def display(self):  
  print self.data

class SecondClass(FirstClass):  # inherits from FirstClass
 def display(self):  # redefines display
  print 'Current Data = %s'  % self.data
x=FirstClass()  # instance of FirstClass
y=SecondClass()  # instance of SecondClass
x.setdata('Before Method Overloading')
y.setdata('After Method Overloading')
x.display()
y.display()

===== Static and Class Method Sample Programs =====

class Students(object):
 total = 0
 def status():
  print '\n Total Number of studetns is :', Students.total
 status= staticmethod(status)
 def __init__(self, name):
  self.name= name
  Students.total+=1
print ‘Before Creating instance: ‘, Students.total
student1=Students('Guido')
student2=Students('Van')
student3=Students('Rossum')

Students.status() # Accessing the class attribute through direct class name 
student1.status() # Accessing the class attribute through an object
class Spam:
 numinstances = 0
 def count(cls):
  cls.numinstances +=1
 def __init__(self):
  self.count()
 count=classmethod(count)     # Converts the count function to class method
class Sub(Spam):
 numinstances = 0
class Other(Spam):
 numinstances = 0
S= Spam()
y1,y2=Sub(),Sub()
z1,z2,z3=Other(),Other(),Other()
print S.numinstances, y1.numinstances,z1.numinstances
print Spam.numinstances, Sub.numinstances,Other.numinstances

Python Interview Questions -Coding Snipets

 This post is dedicated for all DevOps Engineer, Software Engineers who are preparing for Coding Interviews,  Overview of Coding Interviews Most Companies looking for People with minimum Coding knowledge. In a coding interview, you will be given a small problem to solve within 10 - 20 minutes online screen or in-person on their system. In the question, you might be having some part of the code framed and you might be asked to write a snippet of code in between. You need to understand the code comments and proceed to build the expected snippet of code. Bigger companies look for the General purpose questions, where small companies look for specific questions. The General questions would be like this: Determine if the given word is a palindrome or not. (Example madam) Determine given number is prime or not. How to prepare for a coding interview? Now we have the flexibility to choose the programming language on which you are comfortable.  In general DevOps Infra guys will be ...

Python Sets and Dictionaries

Python Sets Python Maps examples A mapping object maps hashable values to arbitrary objects. Mappings are mutable objects. There is currently only one standard mapping type, the dictionary. Dictionaries consist of pairs (called items) of keys and their corresponding values. Dictionaries can be created by placing a comma-separated list of key: value pairs within curly braces Keys are unique within a dictionary while values may not be. The values of a dictionary can be of any type, but the keys must be of an immutable data type such as strings, numbers, or tuples. Python Set Operations and methods Python Set methods continueed >>> SET={'new','old','list','new'} >>> SET set(['new', 'old', 'list']) Lets play with set operations, it is more like school math here... >>> s={1,2,3,4} >>> k={3,4,5,6} >>> len(s) 4 >>> len(k) 4 >>> 1 in s True >>...

Program Controls and loops in Python

Python Programming controls The flow of program will be controlled with conditional statements where this flow  if condition if-else condition if-elif condition while loop while - else loop for loop for with if- else loop if condition Here I would like to work on program control statements, wherein relate some operating system functionalities so that, this would give some basic prototype for the sys admin scripts. #!/usr/bin/python # This illustrate if condition # Filename : ifex.py import os d=os.listdir('/home/pavanbsd/pybin') print d f='ifex.py' if f in d: print "File exists" else: print "Not found..." if-elif-else ladder No worries, coming soon... When you need the task that need to be done repeatedly then your choice is using loops. Python provides two simple loop constructs easy to use! More powerful then other scripting compare to, it has 'else' block. while loop Understand the power of while loop,...
