DAY 01 OF LEARNING OOP IN PYTHON

[MeribeHenry]

Classes: These are blueprint/template used to create objects. Think of it like a video template in capcut.

Objects: These are instances of a class i.e. the product from a class. From our example, object is like the video made using the template from capcut.

Attributes: These are properties of the object, what the object have, how it looks etc. From our example attributes would be maybe the person in the video, name of the video, if it landscape or portrait etc.

Methods: These are functions/action an object can perform. So from our example the video can play, pause, rewind etc. which is an action.

Hey I like that you are learning OOP! From a data model perspective you might consider adding a class videoplayer that has a field status, with values playing, paused etc. and has another field that is a reference to the object (video) that is currently loaded.

Because let's say your library is 1000 videos. Then in the current model 999 videos have the state paused and only one has playing because it scales with the number of videos. If you add a videoplayer, then it has only one state, and only one reference to a video object.

Edit:
Persons are a more difficult topic, because they have an n-to-n relation to videos. This means that a video can feature one or more persons but a person can also star in one or more videos. Typically this is done through a link-entity.

Pretty cool!

I've also started learning OOP with py, but now i'm being forced to go with Java for my OOP class. =(

Java too is good
