lol cpython? hmmm. bro one thing at a time lol. so many stuff to learn. am still tryin to figure __init__ method in python. i just wish I can do away with it and write my program normally. but I can't. its d first weird thing I have seen in python.

lool cpthon is python with C language.. Python is a great language... I love it so much

ayomidearo:

i know it is C. in fact I don't wanna HV anything to do with DAT language. its so fvcking complex. too complex. more difficult than java or c++. c isnt for evryone

the __init__ method as I know it is a constructor, and that's basically what it does.
to initialize some values at the time of calling instantiating the class.

Barywhyte:


put d code line here and its traceback. lets c wht ur trying to do.

print 0812345678
^
SyntaxError: invalid token

loool... Very true

I know it is equivalent to constructor in smthin lik java. I just haven't figured out yet exactly how it work or what make so damn important.

are you using python3 or 2. u can't do that in 3 or anything below 2.7 while not string it? I mean print "0806654443222"

assume you want to pass an argument to your object(class) just like you pass to an ordinary function.
so, the argument the class will take will be created in the __init__ method.

for example:
say I want to create an employee class of which the name of the employee will be set at the time of instantiation, we can do it like this:
(code)...
class Employee():
def __init__(self, name):
self.empname = name
def printName(self):
print self.empname

...
sdk = Employee("Sodeeq" )
sdk.printName()
...
(/code)
I hope that's explanatory enough

hmmm. i picked smthin fr here! then in times wen init method take several arguments, do u also pass those to the class object especially in situation where the class takes no argument? like for example, adding salary and age parameters to the empname parameter

exactly. the __init__ works like you are defining you class as :
class Employee(self, name, age, salary)


and calling it as:
me = Employee("sdk", 20, 1000000).

I hope I have helped a brother

yes u have bro but this init thing get more clumsy than this. how does this relate with other functions in and outside the class in which init is defined? e.g can functions in and outside the init function class called both its data and method attributes? since self = instance of class that is yet to b created, how can other objects of that program access the data and method attributes of init function class? again must all python class contain __init__ function?

pls don't b annoyed by many questions.

why should I be annoyed.

no, all Python classes do not necessarily have to contain an __init__ method, as your program would run fine without it.
and any data member defined inside the __init__ method becomes available throughout the class (to other methods in the class as well).
and they simply have to access it using the same self dot notation I.e self.dataMemberName (with the same name you have in the __init__)

are you very comfortable with defining functions (out side OOP)?

yes bro very very. am very OK with functional programming. buh i want to grab this oop stuff and very fast too. mayb am too anxious getting it up my sleeve. I'll get surely just am in a hurry lol.

what kind of project? games, desktop apps, network, web etc or just a mix of these. are u making money wit python? are u learnin other PL? tnks for the tutorials am trying it out today see if I'll make some important snap.

programming is about 'click'. once the concept snapped or clicked into ur head. u are done. finished!

Ok, thank goodness you are very familiar with it.
now imagine you want to define a class and you want to pass it PARAMETERS just like you would do ordinary functions, now, those parameters will not be directly passed to the class, but to the __init__method.

but at the time of instantiation, you would pass the arguments to the object name instead of explicitly calling the __init__ .




I'm still a learner in Python and I started not too long ago. I'm through with the basics and I want to go onto desktop apps programming but since I'm learning with my phone and no PC yet, I'm still on hold.

how do practice without computer. that's almost impossible

Barywhyte:
how do practice without computer. that's almost impossible

u can with qpython on android to run .py progs and deuteride to write codes

Barywhyte:

it is possible. but just so limiting.
and how far, have you grasp the oop thing?

yea yea at least l understood ur tutorial. my head is so heavy today lol. I haven't done practise OK.

I started python early this month and I beliv i hv made some progress. this OOP is an hurdle but im hapy i hv great guys here who can help

na so e be jare my bro.
I almost gave up the idea of understanding anything oop.

from learning php to learning java, I just found oop so difficult to understand. I ran away from java because of it.
one minute, I would seem to be getting it, and next, everything go scatter again.
Thank God for Python

Barywhyte:


lol I hv no idea. now i got it.

have u seen it?

ayomidearo:
have u seen it?

no. I will c if I can c it in Google play. but am not downloading it.

@omoelu1 yes my Oga. no giving up lol. u can return to java now if u want

Barywhyte:


no. I will c if I can c it in Google play. but am not downloading it.

@omoelu1 yes my Oga. no giving up lol. u can return to java now if u want

yes, I'm considering returning to it one of these days,
but first, I want to perfect my Python.
I have fallen in love with her already, you know.

so, how far have you gone with Python?

not anything beyond those on terminal. but u know the beauty of programming is visual. so I want to turn my terminal game to gui. but then I HV to learn abt python gui toolkit wxpython for now. but this __init__ guy blocked me and that was y I cried.

but actually am not trying to b a programmer. I just wanna b a pro in automation processes. that require a sound knowledge of scripting language like python. but since python is two in one language, I cant resist the urge delve into little programming.

Happy new year to all pythonistaz

lol... happy new year to you too n evryone.

by d way, the qpython is very handing allowing one to do some simple testing on the go. very handy

Honestly it appear am not. for example if I write: wx.Frame.__init__(self)

can u explain what's going on here.

actually I want convert a cml game codes into GUI with nice graphics features. tkinter isn't very appealing to mr

going by the dot notation' you are calling on the __init__ method of the Frame class which is in turn a sub class of the class wx
