The init method (constructor) initializes the object with private attributes __x and __y, which are encapsulated and can't be accessed directly from outside the class.
Methods like get_coordinates and find_reflection provide controlled access to these private attributes.
Abstraction:
The Point class abstracts the concept of a point with coordinates.
The ReflectivePoint class extends Point and includes a method to find the reflection of a point, abstracting the reflection logic.
Idiomatic Usage:
Use of private attributes to enforce encapsulation.
Descriptive method names and docstrings for clarity.
Use of inheritance to demonstrate abstraction and reusability.
This approach leverages the full power of Python's object-oriented features to create a robust, maintainable, and clear implementation. Let me know if this aligns with your needs or if there's something specific you'd like to delve deeper into!
