# Overview # 3. Program Organization
In this section you will learn: So far, we've learned some Python basics and have written some short scripts.
However, as you start to write larger programs, you'll want to get organized.
This section dives into greater details on writing functions, handling errors,
and introduces modules. By the end you should be able to write programs
that are subdivided into functions across multiple files. We'll also give
some useful code templates for writing more useful scripts.
* How to organize larger programs. * [3.1 Functions and Script Writing](01_Script)
* Defining and working with functions. * [3.2 More Detail on Functions](02_More_functions)
* Exceptions and Error handling. * [3.3 Exception Handling](03_Error_checking)
* Basic module management. * [3.4 Modules](04_Modules)
* Script writing. * [3.5 Main module](05_Main_module)
* [3.6 Design Discussion about Embracing Flexibilty](06_Design_discussion)
Python is great for short scripts, one-off problems, prototyping, testing, etc. [Contents](../Contents)

# Overview # 4. Classes and Objects
## Object Oriented (OO) programming So far, our programs have only used built-in Python datatypes. In
this section, we introduce the concept of classes and objects. You'll
learn about the `class` statement that allows you to make new objects.
We'll also introduce the concept of inheritance, a tool that is commonly
use to build extensible programs. Finally, we'll look at a few other
features of classes including special methods, dynamic attribute lookup,
and defining new exceptions.
A Programming technique where code is organized as a collection of *objects*. * [4.1 Introducing Classes](01_Class)
* [4.2 Inheritance](02_Inheritance)
* [4.3 Special Methods](03_Special_methods)
* [4.4 Defining new Exception](04_Defining_exceptions)
An *object* consists of: [Contents](../Contents)
* Data. Attributes
* Behavior. Methods, functions applied to the object.
You have already been using some OO during this course.
For example with Lists.
```python
>>> nums = [1, 2, 3]
>>> nums.append(4) # Method
>>> nums.insert(1,10) # Method
>>> nums
[1, 10, 2, 3, 4] # Data
>>>
```
`nums` is an *instance* of a list.
Methods (`append` and `insert`) are attached to the instance (`nums`).
## Summary
This will be a high-level overview of classes.
Most code involving classes will involve the topics covered in this section.
If you're merely using existing libraries, the code is typically fairly simple.

# Overview # 5. Inner Workings of Python Objects
The inner workings of Python Objects. This section covers some of the inner workings of Python objects.
Programmers coming from other programming languages often find
Python's notion of classes lacking in features. For example, there is
no notion of access-control (e.g., private, protected), the whole
`self` argument feels weird, and frankly, working with objects
sometimes feel like a "free for all." Maybe that's true, but we'll
find out how it all works as well as some common programming idioms to
better encapsulate the internals of objects.
In this section we will cover: It's not necessary to worry about the inner details to be productive.
However, most Python coders have a basic awareness of how classes
work. So, that's why we're covering it.
* A few more details about how objects work. * [5.1 Dictionaries Revisited (Object Implementation)](01_Dicts_revisited)
* How objects are represented. * [5.2 Encapsulation Techniques](02_Classes_encapsulation)
* Details of attribute access.

# Overview # 6. Generators
A simple definition of *Iteration*: Looping over items. Iteration (the `for`-loop) is one of the most common programming
patterns in Python. Programs do a lot of iteration to process lists,
read files, query databases, and more. One of the most powerful
features of Python is the ability to customize and redefine iteration
in the form of a so-called "generator function." This section
introduces this topic. By the end, you'll write some programs that
process some real-time streaming data in an interesting way.
```python * [6.1 Iteration Protocol](01_Iteration_protocol)
a = [2,4,10,37,62] * [6.2 Customizing Iteration with Generators](02_Customizing_iteration)
# Iterate over a * [6.3 Producer/Consumer Problems and Workflows](03_Producers_consumers)
for x in a: * [6.4 Generator Expressions](04_More_generators)
...
```
This is a very common pattern. Loops, list comprehensions, etc. [Contents](../Contents)
Most programs do a huge amount of iteration.

# Overview # 7. Advanced Topics
In this section we will take a look at more Python features you may encounter. In this section, we look at a small set of somewhat more advanced
Python features that you might encounter in your day-to-day coding.
Many of these topics could have been covered in earlier course
sections, but weren't in order to spare you further head-explosion at
the time.
* Variable argument functions It should be emphasized that the topics in this section are only meant
* Anonymous functions and lambda to serve as a very basic introduction to these ideas. You will need
* Returning function and closures to seek more advanced material to fill out details.
* Function decorators
* Static and class methods * [7.1 Variable argument functions](01_Variable_arguments)
