Recursion is a difficult topic to understand for beginners. Sometimes it is a difficult a full study case in the academy that shows why it is important to master the topic. Therefore, many students ask how important is recursion in programming? Thinking that maybe they will never have to use in a real-life situation. The

Exception handling is a mechanism provided by programming languages to create robust software. A robust software handles errors and wrong inputs so the software doesn’t crash. In this article, I’ll show you how to do exception handling in python. Why is important to create robust software that doesn’t crash? All of us probably experienced a

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm. It solves common issues that happen in other paradigms. In this article we are going to see how to implement and use python classes and objects, with examples. In this article, I’ll introduce you to two of the main important concepts in OOP: classes and objects. I’ll start

Polymorphism is a powerful tool that we can use to create clearer, simpler and maintainable code. In this article, I show examples of polymorphism in several languages. Sometimes beginners make some mistakes when learning programming. A common mistake is to learn a specific programming language rather than the fundamentals of programming or the technique they

Inheritance in object-oriented programming is a powerful tool available to programmers. However, at the beginning is difficult for some programmers to use it in the right way. Inheritance in object-oriented programming is a type of relationship between two classes. The right way to identify whether there is inheritance or not is by using the semantic
