This is an Object - Code interpretation

[JoeDainton123]

Hello all

I am trying to gain a better understanding of object orientation programming.

I cam across the following code:-

1 2 3 4 5

import pandas as pd   df = pd.read_csv("T.csv")   print(df.head(2))

This code works and I replaced the actual csv file with my own.

My question is would it be correct to say that:
1) df is an object of the class read_csv
2) The class read_csv is found in an imported module
3) The imported module is given the alias pd

Is this correct?

[Yoriz]

1) df is an object of the class read_csv

df is a variable that has a pointer to an instance of a pandas.DataFrame class

2) The class read_csv is found in an imported module

read_csv is a function of the imported pandas module

3) The imported module is given the alias pd

If the module name is followed by as, then the name following as is bound directly to the imported module.

I am trying to gain a better understanding of object orientation programming.

Pandas is maybe not the best to look at as it really big and dos a lot specialization.
Yoriz explain it fine.

Normally so would read_csv() by a method of the class,pandas just write it as a function,
then has special @Appender decorator.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

@Appender(     _doc_read_csv_and_table.format(         func_name="read_csv",         summary="Read a comma-separated values (csv) file into DataFrame.",         _default_sep="','",         storage_options=generic._shared_docs["storage_options"],     ) ) def read_csv(     filepath_or_buffer: FilePathOrBuffer,     sep=lib.no_default,     delimiter=None,     # Column and Index Locations and Names     header="infer",     .....ect

If i gone write a demo as more normal OOP class way.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

# my_pandas.py class MyPandas:     def read_csv(self, file):         with open(file) as f:             print(f.read())       def head(self, file):         with open(file) as f:             print(f.read()[:20])

Use:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

>>> import my_pandas as pd >>> >>> df = pd.MyPandas() >>> df.read_csv('Articles.csv') name;regcode;number Salah;111;22 ali;222;33 Ranard;333;44 >>> >>> df.head('Articles.csv') name;regcode;number

You see the similarity way of usage now is read_csv() and head() methods of class MyPandas.
They are not function as pandas use in there specialization way.
