changing the value of a class variable affects ALL instances of that class.
This is because the variable belongs to the class itself, not any of the
instances of that class.
"self" is used to tell the interpreter that the variable/function you are
accessing is a member of an instance of that class.
Wrong. The first parameter of a method is an instance of a class. It
is conventionally called 'self' but could be any other name. I use 's'
for quick private test examples.
Here's an example:
class MyObject(object):
count = 0
def __init__(value):
This should be def __init__(self, value):
MyObject.count += 1
self.value = value
def printStuff():
def print(self):
print("My value is ", self.value)
> a = MyObject('a')
In 2.7.10
TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
