Class question - robdineen - May-28-2020
Hello i have been learning Python 3 and its going in quite well.
But i have a query about classes.
i have the below code
class Student(object):
def __init__(self, name="Rob", grade='A', county="Essex"):
self.name = name
self.grade = grade
self.county = county
student1 = Student()
print(student1.name)when i run in pycharm, i get the following errorError: student1 = Student()
NameError: name 'Student' is not definedKind Regards
Rob
RE: Class question - menator01 - May-28-2020
You need to either put
student1 = Student() in the function or take it out of the class. You have it aligned with your function.
RE: Class question - bowlofred - May-28-2020
You have referred to the class inside the class definition. Modify your indents to do it outside.
class Student(object):
def __init__(self, name="Rob", grade='A', county="Essex"):
self.name = name
self.grade = grade
self.county = county
student1 = Student()
print(student1.name)Output:RobRE: Class question - pyzyx3qwerty - May-29-2020
Check your indentation @robdineen - the last two lines are inside the function

Thank you very much, stupid error, so thank you for answering.

Another one if this is even helpful
class Student(object):
def __init__(self, name, grade, county):
self.name = name
self.grade = grade
self.county = county
def getName(self):
return self.name
def getGrade(self):
return self.grade
def getCountry(self):
return self.county
def __str__(self):
return 'Name: '+ self.name + '\ngrade: ' + self.grade + '\ncountry: ' + self.county
def main():
student1 = Student('Rob', 'A', 'Essex')
print(student1)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()OutputName: Rob grade: A country: Essex
RE: Class question - buran - May-30-2020
@Calli:
OP question was ansered already.
What you suggest - using getters/setters for properties is anti-pattern in python. Even in your code you don't use them in __str__() method :-)
some reading: Why don't you want getters and setters?
RE: Class question - Calli - May-30-2020
Just learning as much as i can thank you so much @buran i will do more reading on your link.
