Object Oriented Programming Explained Simply for Data Scientists

This is not that Hard!!!

Object-Oriented Programming or OOP can be a tough concept to understand for beginners. And that’s mainly because it is not really explained in the right way in a lot of places. Normally a lot of books start by explaining OOP by talking about the three big terms — Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism. But the time the book can explain these topics, anyone who is just starting would already feel lost.

So, I thought of making the concept a little easier for fellow programmers, Data Scientists and Pythonistas. The way I intend to do is by removing all the Jargon and going through some examples. I would start by explaining classes and objects. Then I would explain why classes are important in various situations and how they solve some fundamental problems. In this way, the reader would also be able to understand the three big terms by the end of the post.

In this series of posts named **Python Shorts **, I will explain some simple but very useful constructs provided by Python, some es…
