E066: Object Oriented Programming in Python

This course bridges foundational programming skills to advanced object-oriented concepts, empowering learners to design and implement robust, scalable applications. It emphasizes the core pillars of object-oriented programming such as inheritance, composition, encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism while introducing data structure fundamentals. Learners will define and extend class hierarchies, apply method overriding, work with polymorphic collections, and traverse data structures using iterative and recursive techniques. Through practical problem-solving, the course reinforces code reusability and equips learners to apply object-oriented principles for efficient, maintainable solutions.

• Fundamental programming constructs: variable typing, conditional logic, iterative loops, and modular functions in E066
• Memory models and data representations: arrays, string parsing, reference passing, and scope resolution
• Introduction to algorithmic thinking: linear/binary search, basic sorting algorithms, and recursive problem decomposition
• Software development practices: debugging methodologies, unit test assertions, and structured coding style in Object Oriented Programming in Python
