Advanced Python Course Project

Summary

This project demonstrates the use of decorators in Python, as well as basic object-oriented programming concepts. Below is a summary of the key concepts and components you have learned and implemented in this project.

Project Structure

The project consists of the following files:

• main.py: The main entry point of the application.
• student.py: Defines the Student class.
• teacher.py: Defines the Teacher class.
• person.py: Defines the Person class, which is the base class for Student and Teacher.
• logging_decorator.py: Contains the logging_decorator function.
• double_decorator.py: Contains the double_decorator function.
• string_check_decorator.py: Contains the string_check_decorator function.
• .gitignore: Specifies files and directories to be ignored by Git.

Key Concepts

Decorators

Decorators are a powerful feature in Python that allow you to modify the behavior of a function or method. In this project, you have implemented and used the following decorators:

• Logging Decorator (logging_decorator):

  • Logs the function name and its arguments when the function is called.
  • Defined in logging_decorator.py.

• Double Decorator (double_decorator):

  • Calls the decorated function twice.
  • Defined in double_decorator.py.

• String Check Decorator (string_check_decorator):

  • Checks if all arguments passed to the function are strings and prints a message if they are not.
  • Defined in string_check_decorator.py.

Object-Oriented Programming

You have also implemented basic object-oriented programming concepts by defining classes and inheritance:

• Person Class (Person):

  • Base class with attributes first_name, last_name, and age.
  • Defined in person.py.

• Student Class (Student):

  • Inherits from Person and adds student_id and grade attributes.
  • Defined in student.py.

• Teacher Class (Teacher):

  • Inherits from Person and adds teacher_id attribute.
  • Includes a method to grade a student.
  • Defined in teacher.py.

Main Function

The main function in main.py demonstrates the usage of the classes and decorators:

• Creates instances of Student and Teacher.
• Grades the student using the Teacher class.
• Prints the student's details.
• Calls the print_hello_world function, which is decorated to print "Hello World!" twice and log the call.
• Calls the add function, which is decorated to check if arguments are strings and log the call.

Running the Project

To run the project, execute the main.py file:

python main.py

This will demonstrate the functionality of the decorators and the object-oriented classes you have implemented.
