I have a question that some may consider silly, but it has me a bit stuck and I would appreciate some help in understanding what is going on.
For example, lets say that I have a class that creates a student object. Class Student: def setName(self, name) self.name = name def setId(self, id) self.id = id Then I instantiate that object in a method: def createStudent(): foo = Student() /add stuff Now, suppose that I want to create another Student. Do I need to name that Student something other than foo? What happens to the original object? If I do not supplant the original data of Student (maybe no id for this student) does it retain the data of the previous Student object that was not altered? I guess I am asking how do I differentiate between objects when I do not know how many I need to create and do not want to hard code names like Student1, Student2 etc. I hope that I am clear about what I am asking.
