Course Overview
Welcome to “Introduction to Inheritance and Polymorphism in Python,” an online course designed to help you master two key object-oriented programming concepts in Python. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this course provides a solid foundation for writing flexible, reusable, and maintainable code.
We’ll start with the fundamentals of inheritance, exploring how it allows one class to inherit properties and behaviors from another. You’ll learn about various inheritance types in Python, including single, multiple, multilevel, hierarchical, and hybrid inheritance, to understand how different relationships between classes can be established.
The course then dives into polymorphism, where you’ll discover how to use it to enable objects to behave in multiple ways. We’ll cover operator overloading, the use of default arguments, and how polymorphism works with inheritance. You’ll also learn about the role of Abstract Base Classes (ABCs) in enforcing consistent interfaces and see how polymorphism applies to collections.
With practical examples, you’ll see how to implement these concepts effectively in Python, enhancing your ability to solve real-world programming challenges.
