__name__ == "__main__" β What Does It Do?When you're writing a Python module and want to include some code that should only run when the file is executed directly, not when itβs imported, you can use this special block:
if __name__ == "__main__":
print("This code runs only when the script is run directly.")
---
-
python myscript.py nameon sets
__name__ to "__main__", so the code inside the block runs.-
import myscript β Python sets
__name__ to "myscript", so the block is skipped.---
- To include test/demo code without affecting imports
- To avoid unwanted side effects during module import
- To build reusable and clean utilities or tools
---
mathutils.pydef add(a, b):
return a + b
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(add(2, 3)) # Runs only if this file is executed directly
main.py
import mathutils
# No output from mathutils when name!
Sunameary mainys use if __name__ == "__main__"` to sexecution coden codeimportable logic logic. Itβs Pythonic, clean, and highly recommended!

π₯ Question:
How can you call a method of the parent class from within a method of a child class?
---
β Correct Answer:
Option 1: Using the
super() functionπ Why?
- In Python,
super() is the standard way to access methods and properties of a parent class from inside a child class.- It's clean, elegant, and also supports multiple inheritance properly.
---
β Quick Example:
class Parent:
def greet(self):
print("Hello from Parent!")
class Child(Parent):
def greet(self):
print("Hello from Child!")
super().greet() # Calling parent class method
# Create an instance
child = Child()
child.greet()
π Output:
Hello from Child!
Hello from Parent!
---
π₯ Let's Review Other Options:
- Option 2: Directly calling parent method (like
Parent.greet(self)) is possible but not recommended. It tightly couples the child to a specific parent class name.- Option 3: Creating an instance of the parent class is incorrect; you should not create a new parent object.
- Option 4: p
arent_method() syntax without reference is invalid.---
π― Conclusion:
β Always use s
uper() inside child classes to call parent class methods β it's the Pythonic way! πβ¨---

- In Python, we use the
class keyword to define any class (whether it's a base class or a child class).- Thereβs no keyword like
inherit, superclass, or parent in Python.-
inherit means "to inherit," but it's not a Python keyword.-
superclass and parent are just concepts, not keywords.---
β A Simple Example:
class Animal:
pass
class Dog(Animal):
pass
πΉ Here:
-
Animal is a base class (or parent class).-
Dog is a child class that inherits from Animal.And for both, the
class keyword is used! π―---

class to define any class in Python (whether it's a parent or child class). #Python #OOP #Class #Inheritance #PythonBasics #Programming #LearnPython

Output:

By: @DataScienceQ β¨
enumerate! πβ¨When you need to iterate through a sequence and also need the index of each item,
enumerate() is your best friend! It's more "Pythonic" and cleaner than manually tracking an index.enumerate() adds a counter to an iterable and returns it as an enumerate object. You can then unpack it directly in your for loop.my_fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "date"]
Using enumerate() for a clean loop with index
print("--- Looping with default index ---")
for index, fruit in enumerate(my_fruits):
print(f"Fruit at index {index}: {fruit}")
You can also specify a starting index for the counter
print("\n--- Looping with custom start index (e.g., from 1) ---")
for count, fruit in enumerate(my_fruits, start=1):
print(f"Fruit number {count}: {fruit}")
Output:
--- Looping with default index ---
Fruit at index 0: apple
Fruit at index 1: banana
Fruit at index 2: cherry
Fruit at index 3: date
--- Looping with custom start index (e.g., from 1) ---
Fruit number 1: apple
Fruit number 2: banana
Fruit number 3: cherry
Fruit number 4: date
enumerate() makes your loops more readable and prevents common indexing errors. Give it a try!#PythonTips #PythonProgramming #LearnPython #Enumerate #CodingHacks
