YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6XkhO5SZ66N04IcPbqNcw/join Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/keithgalli Download Kite: https://www.kite.com/ In this video we overview the main things I think are pointing when you are starting to learn about classes & integrate them in your everyday code. In this video we cover: - why should we use object oriented programming (oop) ? - the basics of defining a class in python (__init__) - class methods - what the heck is "self"? - Inheritance & Subclassing - Operator overriding A timeline is in the comments. If there are topics you felt like I left out, let me know in the comments! I'll potentially make a follow up video to this one. For an example of me structuring my code with classes, check out this machine learning video:https://youtu.be/M9Itm95JzL0 If you want to practice using classes, try rewriting the game we build in this video to use them:https://youtu.be/-8n91btt5d8 ^(I'll update the github repo for that video with my solution to this soon) Resources: Github code: https://github.com/KeithGalli/python-classes-tutorial Operator overloading: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/operator-overloading-in-python/ --------------------- Follow me on social media!
