PCAP: Python OOP and Code Streamlining

Overview

In this course, you'll continue developing your Python skills by implementing object-oriented design through classes. You'll also streamline code logic and scope by using list comprehensions, lambda functions, and closures. This is the second course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you use the provided virtual machine, which includes an installation of Python. The course setup instructions provided in the first course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.

Syllabus

Using an Object-Oriented Approach

There are many ways you can approach writing an application to perform the processing tasks that you need. The object-oriented programming approach offers many benefits. In this lesson, you will use an object-oriented approach to write an application in Python®.

Streamlining Code Logic and Scope

Classes are a great tool for extending and enhancing the functionality of your program at a high level, but you should also focus on improving some of the lower-level logic that you've written. There are several ways to streamline your code that you'll implement in this lesson.
