OOP Python Program: Human, Hiker, Scientist, Swimmer, ScientificSwimmer

Overview:

This Python program demonstrates the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) by implementing classes for Human, Hiker, Scientist, Swimmer, and ScientificSwimmer. The classes showcase the concepts of inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.

1. Human Class:
   • Contains private attributes: name and age.
   • Methods:
     • __init__(): Initializes name and age.
     • hobby(): Prints a generic hobby message.
     • info(): Prints the values of name and age.
2. Hiker Class:
   • Inherits from the Human class.
   • Overrides the hobby() method to print “likes going on hikes.”
3. Scientist Class:
   • Inherits from the Human class.
   • Additional private attribute: lab.
   • Methods:
     • __init__(): Calls the Human class __init__() and sets the lab attribute.
     • hobby(): Overrides the hobby() method to print “likes doing scientific experiments.”
     • labName(): Prints “works at the X lab,” where X is the value of the lab attribute.
4. Swimmer Class:
   • Inherits from the Human class.
   • Additional private attribute: hours.
   • Methods:
     • __init__(): Calls the Human class __init__() and sets the hours attribute.
     • hobby(): Overrides the hobby() method to print “likes swimming.”
     • hoursSwimming(): Prints “Swims X hours per week,” where X is the value of the hours attribute.
5. ScientificSwimmer Class:
   • Inherits from both Scientist and Swimmer classes.
   • Methods:
     • __init__(): Calls the parent __init__() methods.
     • hobby(): Overrides the hobby() method to print “likes swimming and doing scientific experiments.”

Program Execution:

• The program prompts the user to enter data for a Human, Hiker, Scientist, Swimmer, ScientificSwimmer, or exit.
• This process occurs in a loop until the user chooses to exit.
• For each class chosen by the user, an object is created using user-provided data.
• If the user chooses to exit, the program prints relevant information for each created object and ends.

This OOP Python program offers a practical example of class implementation, inheritance, and user interaction, providing a hands-on experience with OOP concepts.
