What are public and protected attributes in Python?

Can you explain what public and protected attributes are in Python?

Sure! In Python, public attributes are accessible from outside the class, while protected attributes are intended for internal use.

How do I define a protected attribute in a class?

You can define a protected attribute by prefixing its name with a single underscore, like this: _attribute_name.

Are there any rules for accessing protected attributes?

Yes, protected attributes should be accessed only within the class and its subclasses to maintain encapsulation.

What about private attributes? How do they differ?

Private attributes are prefixed with double underscores, making them inaccessible from outside the class, even in subclasses.
