Hello I'm pretty new to Python and was wondering why the 'Square' method in the following code doesn't work. It doesn't fail, just doesn't do anything ( at least, not what I'd like! ). Why doesn't 'A.a' equal 2 after squaring? TIA.
class FibonacciMatrix: def __init__( self ): self.a = 1 self.b = 1 self.c = 0 def __mul__( self, other ): result = FibonacciMatrix() result.a = self.a * other.a + self.b * other.b result.b = self.a * other.b + self.b * other.c result.c = self.b * other.b + self.c * other.c return result def Square( self ): self *= self A = FibonacciMatrix() A.Square() print A.a #prints '1' A = FibonacciMatrix() B = A * A print B.a #prints '2' ------------------------------ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
