Examples of Protected Attributes in Python 🐍🛡️

This repository contains examples of Python code that illustrate the usage of protected attributes in classes. Protected attributes are those that have an underscore at the beginning of their names, indicating that they should be treated with caution and that direct access from outside the class is not recommended.

Example Files

  • product_class_example.py: This file demonstrates how to use protected attributes and methods to manage product information in an inventory system.

  • animal_class.py: In this file, an Animal class is introduced with protected attributes representing the name and species of an animal, along with methods to access and modify these attributes.

Instructions

  1. Clone this repository or download the example files individually.

  2. Run the example files in your Python development environment to observe how protected attributes are used in practice.
