Hello,
I am new to OOP. I'm a bit confused about the following code.
class Clock(object):
def __init__(self, time):
self.time = time
def print_time(self):
time = '6:30'
print(self.time)
clock = Clock('5:30')
clock.print_time()
5:30
I set time to 6:30, but it's coming out to 5:30. I guess it's because I
passed in 5:30, so, it's replaced?
In print_time(), the variable 'time' is not the same as the variable
'self.time'.
'time', a local variable, is set to '6:30'.
'self.time', an instance variable, is set to '5:30'.
You printed self.time, hence the result.
