ikwukao/musical_instrument_inventory

This repository is a small learning exercise in Python. The author is practicing object oriented programming, which is a style of writing code where the program is organized around objects that bundle data with the actions that work on that data. The example they picked is a tiny inventory of musical instruments. The code defines a single class called MusicalInstrument. Each instrument has a name and a type, for example an Oboe in the woodwind family or a Trumpet in the brass family. The class has two methods. One called play prints a short message saying the instrument is fun to play. Another called get_fact returns a sentence stating which family of instruments the named one belongs to. The example output in the README shows the program creating two instruments and then printing those messages. The project is intentionally minimal. There are no external libraries to install, only Python 3 itself, and the whole program lives in a single script that you run with python3 main.py. The README is honest about its purpose: it is meant to demonstrate basic class definition, constructors, instance attributes, methods, and the difference between a class and the objects you make from it. The author lists some ideas for future improvement, such as adding more methods, using inheritance for different instrument families, storing instruments in a JSON file, or building a small Tkinter or Streamlit interface.
