Python Coding challenge - Day 978| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Class Definition

class A:

This line defines a class named A.

A class is a blueprint for creating objects.

2. Overriding __getattribute__ Method

def __getattribute__(self, name):

__getattribute__ is a special (magic) method in Python.

It is called every time an attribute of an object is accessed.

self → the current object (a)

name → the name of the attribute being accessed (as a string)

3. Checking the Attribute Name

if name == "ok":

This line checks whether the requested attribute name is "ok".

4. Returning a Custom Value

return "yes"

If the attribute name is "ok", the method returns the string "yes".

This means a.ok will not look for a real attribute — it directly returns "yes".

5. Raising an Error for Other Attributes

raise AttributeError

If the attribute name is not "ok", an AttributeError is raised.

This tells Python that the attribute does not exist.

Without this, Python’s normal attribute lookup would break.

6. Creating an Object

a = A()

An object a is created from class A.

7. Accessing the Attribute

print(a.ok)

Python calls a.__getattribute__("ok").

Since the name is "ok", the method returns "yes".

print() outputs the returned value.

8. Final Output

yes
