Python Forum

Hi all,

i am just learning about classes. This a very simplified version of the example i was checking in a book

class Person:
    def __ini__(self, name):
        self.name = name

once i try to create an instance from this class

person1 = Person('John')

i get the following error :

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    person1 = Person('John')
TypeError: this constructor takes no arguments

can you please advise what is the problem here.
i have read similar thread but in ost of them the user used only single underscore _init_ instead of double __init__

thanks in advance

You are missing the t on init

Quote:

def __ini__(self, name):

thanks metulburr for the very quick help.
