Programming in Python - L90: Attributes & methods | OOP, init, self, and behavior explained

Welcome to Lecture 90 of the course "Programming in Python" by Prof. Sudarshan Iyengar. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSCS1002.html Video Overview In this lecture we deepen our understanding of Object Oriented Programming in Python by focusing on attributes and methods. We begin by revisiting a previous program and refactoring it to align with OOP principles. Key topics include the __init__ method for initializing object attributes the role of the self keyword for accessing attributes and methods and the distinction between class attributes and object attributes. We also explore how to define custom behavior using methods and clarify the difference between methods and functions. The lecture concludes with a code example that ties these concepts together providing a clear foundation for writing structured and object oriented Python code.
