IIPP Week 6 - Classes and object-oriented programming

Week 6a - Classes

Object-oriented Programming - 1

Capitalize the Class Name

Create a Class

class_obj = ClassName(...)

Parameter self

self as a parameter of the method of class, which on behalf of class itself

double underbar

• These method get called behind your back by Python
• special function
  
  • __init__
  • __str__ (print Class can automatically call this method, also we can call it by print str(Class))
• don’t use it for normal function

Object-oriented Programming - 2

suitable for other situation

1 Class ball -> different Class Domain (RectangularDomain or CircleDomain)

Working with Objects

We can write a function draw() in Class, don’t forget to pass parameter canvas to this function

Week 6b - Tiled Image

Programming Tips - 6

Object Returned by __init__

__init__ will return self automatically

Object of Class Share Data like List

##################
# Object shared state
# Mutation of shared state

class Point2:
    def __init__(self, coordinates):
        self.coords = coordinates

    def set_coord(self, index, value):
        self.coords[index] = value

    def get_coord(self, index):
        return self.coords[index]

coordinates = [4, 5]
p = Point2(coordinates)
q = Point2(coordinates)
r = Point2([4, 5])

p.set_coord(0, 10)

print p.get_coord(0)
print q.get_coord(0)
print r.get_coord(0)


##################
# Objects not sharing state

class Point3:
    def __init__(self, coordinates):
        self.coords = list(coordinates)

    def set_coord(self, index, value):
        self.coords[index] = value

    def get_coord(self, index):
        return self.coords[index]

coordinates = [4, 5]
p = Point3(coordinates)
q = Point3(coordinates)
r = Point3([4, 5])

p.set_coord(0, 10)

print p.get_coord(0)
print q.get_coord(0)
print r.get_coord(0)
