OOP & classes
Classes, instances, methods, dataclasses, and object-oriented design in Python.
How to Create a Data Splitter Class in Python
This code defines a DataSplitter class that splits data by index, into chunks, or by a predicate, demonstrating OOP principles in Python.
class DataSplitter:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = list(data)
def split_by_index(self, index):
return self.data[:index], self.data[index:]
def split_into_chunks(self, chunk_size):
return [self.data[i:i + chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(self.data), chunk_size)]
…Understanding Multiple Inheritance Method Resolution Order in Python
This code demonstrates how Python's MRO determines which greet method is called in a diamond inheritance scenario, and prints the full MRO for class D.
class A:
def greet(self):
return "Hello from A"
class B(A):
def greet(self):
return "Hello from B"
class C(A):
def greet(self):
return "Hello from C"
class D(B, C):
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
d = D()
print(d.greet())
print(D.__mro__)Browse by section
