🌿 Python Module 01 — Object-Oriented Garden Systems

This project is part of the 42 School Common Core and focuses on Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Python.

Building on the fundamentals learned in Module 00, this module introduces more structured and scalable programming concepts through the creation of a digital garden ecosystem.

The goal of this module is to understand and apply:

• classes and objects
• instance methods
• class methods and static methods
• encapsulation and data protection
• inheritance and class hierarchies
• code organization and reuse
• nested helper classes
• basic system design and architecture

Each exercise incrementally builds on the previous one, resulting in a cohesive and extensible system by the end of the module.

📁 Project Structure

Each exercise is placed in its own directory (ex0 to ex6) and contains only the files requested by the subject.

📌 Exercises Overview

Exercise 0 — Planting Your First Seed

Introduces Python program structure and execution.

• Uses if __name__ == "__main__"
• Stores basic plant data
• Prints formatted output

Concepts: program entry point, variables, execution flow

---

Exercise 1 — Garden Data Organizer

Introduces the first class-based design.

• Creates a Plant class
• Stores name, height, and age
• Manages multiple plant instances

Concepts: classes, objects, attributes

---

Exercise 2 — Plant Growth Simulator

Adds behavior to plants.

• Reuses the Plant class
• Implements growth and aging
• Simulates changes over time

Concepts: instance methods, state changes

---

Exercise 3 — Plant Factory

Focuses on object creation.

• Creates multiple plants efficiently
• Uses constructors (__init__)
• Displays structured output

Concepts: object initialization, reuse

---

Exercise 4 — Garden Security System

Introduces data protection.

• Implements SecurePlant
• Protects data using validation
• Uses getters and setters

Concepts: encapsulation, data integrity

---

Exercise 5 — Specialized Plant Types

Introduces inheritance.

• Base Plant class
• Specialized plant types
• Uses super() to reuse code

Concepts: inheritance, polymorphism

---

Exercise 6 — Garden Analytics Platform

Combines all module concepts.

• Manages multiple gardens
• Uses a nested statistics helper
• Implements a plant hierarchy
• Calculates statistics and scores

Concepts: system design, nested classes, method types
