Python: Interface
n Python, unlike some other programming languages, there is no explicit syntax for defining interfaces. However, you can create a similar concept by defining an abstract base class (ABC) that contains abstract methods. An abstract method is a method that is declared in a base class, but has no implementation. Subclasses of the abstract base class must implement these abstract methods.
Here’s an example:
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class Shape(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def area(self):
pass
class Square(Shape):
def __init__(self, side):
self.side = side
def area(self):
return self.side * self.side
square = Square(5)
print(square.area()) # 25
In the example above, the Shape class is defined as an abstract base class using the ABC class from the abc module.
The area method is defined as an abstract method using the @abstractmethod decorator. The Square class is a concrete implementation of the Shape interface, and implements the area method. When you create an instance of the Square class and call its area method, the implementation of the area method in the Square class is executed, and the result is returned.
The “@” symbol in Python is used to define decorators. Decorators are a way to modify the behavior of a function, class, or method by wrapping it in another function.
