Python Programming

Let’s say that VainPerson does allow someone to know its name (how would you address it otherwise?) But it wishes to always be addressed by a long majestic title. You can do this with a method that retrieves its __name, but exposes the __name in a controlled manner. These are often called getter methods in OOP.

class VainPerson:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.__name = name

    def get_name(self):
        return f"Your Most Honourable Excellency {self.__name}"


lovely_person = VainPerson("Edward")
print(lovely_person.get_name()) # Your Most Honourable Excellency Edward
