Monday - Wednesday (2/27/12 - 2/29/12)
Warmup:
- What is Object-Oriented Programming? Describe in layman's terms.
Agenda:
- Object-Oriented Programming Review
- Parts of a class
- Class declaration at the top: class CLASSNAME:
- Initializer: def __init__(self, PARAMS):
- Give default or initialize values of attributes
- Methods: def METHODNAME(self, PARAMS):
- A function inside a class
- Python Class References
- Class-wide construction of an object-oriented program
- Point class example review
- Circle class practice
- Attribute(s): radius
- Method(s):
- __init__(self, radius=0)
- __str__(self)
- getRadius(self) - returns the radius of the circle
- setRadius(self, newRadius) - changes the self.radius to newRadius
- getDiameter(self) - returns the diameter of the circle
- getArea(self) - returns the area of the circle
- Rectangle class practice
- Attribute(s): width, height
- Method(s):
- __init__(self, width=0, height=0)
- __str__(self) - returns a string like "Rectangle WIDTH by HEIGHT"
- getWidth(self) - returns the width
- setWidth(self, newWidth) - saves newWidth into self.width
- getHeight(self) - returns the height
- setHeight(self, newHeight) - saves newHeight into self.height
- getArea(self) - returns the area of the rectangle
- isSquare(self) - returns True if the width is equal to the height, otherwise return False
- Create a Student class with the attributes on the board
Thursday (2/23/12)
Agenda:
- List, nested list, and for loop quiz
- Demo missing assignments
- Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming
- Class-wide construction of an object-oriented program
