Duck Typing
Domain: Programming Fundamentals
🎯 Motivation
Python doesn’t check types strictly - if an object walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.
đź“‹ Concrete Example
def quack(thing): thing.quack() - any object with a .quack() method works, whether it’s a Duck, a Toy, or a Person imitating a duck.
đź”— Analogy
Judging by behaviour, not identity - if someone can swim and quack convincingly, you treat them as a duck. You don’t check their DNA.
