2 Everything is an object. Every object has a value. a type. an identity. a namespace. CS105 Python

3 def initstudent(student, eid): global A class is like a namespace. CS105 Python

4 def initstudent(student, eid): global A class is like Student a namespace. -- A class definition initstudent binds the class name to an object. These are the active namespaces after the class body. def initstudent(student, eid): CS105 Python 5

5 a def initstudent(student, eid): student = Student() Invoking a class name creates an instance of that class. -- An instance is like a namespace. These are the active namespaces after executing line a. Student initstudent global is an instance of def initstudent(student, eid): student CS105 Python 6

6 a b def initstudent(student, eid): student = Student() student.initstudent Accessing an instance s attributes causes chained lookups. These are the active namespaces when executing line b. Student initstudent global 1 is an instance of def initstudent(student, eid): student CS105 Python 7

7 a b explicit parameter def initstudent(self, eid): self.eid = eid self.courses = [] student = Student() student.initstudent('guido') implicit argument Methods are different from functions. These are the active namespaces just before executing line. Student eid initstudent global local 'guido' eid self is an instance of m def initstudent(student, eid): student CS105 Python 8

8 def init (self, eid): self.eid = eid self.courses = [] a student = Student('guido') Constructor creates and initializes at the same time. CS105 Python 10

13 a b class Person: class Student(Person): class Instructor(Person): student = Student('guido') instructor = Instructor('wirth', 15000) Class Type >>> type(student) <type 'instance'> >>> type(instructor) <type 'instance'> CS105 Python 15

16 All a def init (self, eid): self.eid = eid self.courses = [] student = Student('guido') data is public. >>> student.eid 'guido' >>> dir(student) [' doc ', ' init ', ' module ', 'courses', 'eid'] CS105 Python 18

17 You a def init (self, eid): self. eid = eid self. courses = [] student = Student('guido') can hide it, but >>> student. eid Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: Student instance has no attribute ' eid' CS105 Python 19

18 All a def init (self, eid): self. eid = eid self. courses = [] student = Student('guido') data is public. >>> dir(student) ['_Student courses', '_Student eid', ' doc ', ' init ', ' module '] >>> student._student eid 'guido' CS105 Python 0

19 Encapsulation By Social Contract signal: _name protect: name The underscore says, This is an implementation detail. Modify at your own peril. CS105 Python 1
