OOP & classes
Classes, instances, methods, dataclasses, and object-oriented design in Python.
How to Build a Linked List Node Class in Python
Create a Node class and a LinkedList class with insert, remove, and display methods to manage a singly linked list.
class Node:
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = data
self.next = None
class LinkedList:
def __init__(self):
self.head = None
def insert(self, data):
new_node = Node(data)
if not self.head:
self.head = new_node
else:
current = self.…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)]
…Observer Pattern in Python: Notify Listeners
Implement the Observer design pattern in Python with a Subject class that manages listeners and notifies them with messages.
class Subject:
def __init__(self):
self._observers = []
def attach(self, observer):
self._observers.append(observer)
def detach(self, observer):
self._observers.remove(observer)
def notify(self, message):
for observer in self._observers:
observer.update(me…Browse by section
