How Python implements “Data Encapsulation”?


Data privacy or “data encapsulation” is provided by Python by default. In Python every variable or method is scoped within its parent code block. Look at the below function-
  1. def newcurrencynote():
  2. newnote = 2000
  3. print("This is new" + newnote + "currency note")
  4. print(newnote)
  5. print(example())

In the above function newcurrencynote() the variable newnote inside the function has “ local” scope within that function, in other words it is private to that functions only and is not accessible outside that function . So, the first print function gives an error stating that you should initialize the variable first and then print it, but since the second function is trying to access the function itself so it will print the value of the variable.

What I learned from writing a guest post

                                                     Recently I wrote a python tutorial for Datacamp , while writing this tutorial I learned a couple of things which I am going to share with you right here in my blog post. May be you can use my experiences in your own endeavours as a writer. Idea The first step is idea generation. You can either search through any previous topics in your blog post if you have one or you can go through your past learning, experiences or any problem statement that you might have gone through and you will find that while doing that you can get tons of ideas to start your article. If you fall short of ideas then you can ask for help from may be your social media followings your friends or your family, for example I asked the people at Datacamp  themselves and they suggested me a couple of topics which got me st...

Expressions in Python : How to become a Python programming Jedi - A Python programming Tutorial Part 1

Long Long ago in a Galaxy far far away there was a planet named Quora. There was a growing agitation among the planet’s inhabitants to learn the way of the Python programming Force and become a master in the way of the Python programming Jedi, but very few knew that the secret art of the Jedi is embedded in a book named as TheCodingProject…. So, let’s begin the journey of learning the secret art of the Python programming Force and we shall together make the journey towards becoming the Python Jedi…. What is Python? As per Wikipedia “Python is a widely used high-level , general-purpose , interpreted , dynamic programming language .” Python is an open source programming language which was conceived in the late 1980s and its implementation began in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum (more on it here ). For us it’s sufficient to know that Python is : High level language - Python is a high-level programming language because it provides strong “:abstractio...

For Loop in python 3 : How to become a Python Jedi - Beginners Python Programming Tutorial - Part 7

I am back again with another part in the beginner python programming tutorial series. We will continue with "Loops" but this time we are going to learn how to use for loop in python 3.  Difference between For loop and While Loop A "For Loop" and "While Loop" have a common connection that both are looping statement, but major difference is that unlike while loop, a for loop gets executed a specified number of times. We can break down the For loop into the following components(Refer to the for loop flow chart below). for keyword variable name call to the range function colon operator clause or block of code Hovering over the flow-chart The above flow-chart is..well horrible I know, but I make my own drawings because I can't afford an artist. So, bear with me. In the above flowchart is a very basicy, laymanish representation of a for loop. The decision box contains the  For  statement along-with it's sou...
