reusability.
• Explored the key distinctions between procedural and object-oriented approaches, understanding the motivations and
benefits of OOP.
• Deepened the understanding of classes, objects, properties, and methods, crucial components of object-oriented code.
• Designed reusable classes and creating objects, fostering efficient code development and maintenance.
• Dived into the concepts of inheritance and polymorphism, empowering code to be more flexible and extensible.
• Recognized exceptions as objects within the OOP paradigm, streamlining error handling and making code more robust.
• Became proficient in using generators, iterators, and closures to handle data efficiently and enhance code readability.
• Explored file handling in Python, covering file streams, reading and writing files, and diagnosing common stream-related
problems.
• Gained hands-on experience in working with real files and interacting with the operating system using the OS module.
• Leveraged the datetime module to work with time- and date-related functions, facilitating tasks like scheduling and data
analysis.
• Utilized the calendar module for calendar-related functions, enabling applications that involve date-based calculations and
displays.
