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.

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

Introduces Python program structure and execution.

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

Concepts: program entry point, variables, execution flow

Introduces the first class-based design.

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

Concepts: classes, objects, attributes

Adds behavior to plants.

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

Concepts: instance methods, state changes

Focuses on object creation.

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

Concepts: object initialization, reuse

Introduces data protection.

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

Concepts: encapsulation, data integrity

Introduces inheritance.

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

Concepts: inheritance, polymorphism

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

• Written for Python 3.10+
• Fully compliant with flake8
• Follows 42 naming conventions
• Outputs match the subject examples exactly
