Still in the learning process and am running in to issues with class def items. 

 

Here is the code.

class Animal:	def __init__(self, name = 'No Name'):		self._name = name			def set_name(self, name = 'No Name'):		self._name = name			def get_name(self):		return self.name			def noise(self):		print("Errrrrr")			def move(self):		print("Moving Forward")				def eat(self):		print("Crunch, Chruch")		dog = Animal()dog.noise()dog.move()dog.eat()dog.set_name("Parker")print(dog.get_name())

And here is the error from eclipse.

ErrrrrrMoving ForwardCrunch, ChruchTraceback (most recent call last):  File "C:\Users\Jake.JakeHuitt-HP\workspace\learning python\Learning_python.py", line 27, in <module>    print(dog.get_name())  File "C:\Users\Jake.JakeHuitt-HP\workspace\learning python\Learning_python.py", line 9, in get_name    return self.nameAttributeError: 'Animal' object has no attribute 'name'

Thanks in advance, Jake.

self._name instead?

self._name instead?

Thanks for your help.

You can do all of this in one function if you want to print the dog name straight away, use the print outside if you're wanting to call it later.

class Animal:	def name(name):		name="Parker"		print(name)		return name	def noise(self):		print("Errrrrr")			def move(self):		print("Moving Forward")				def eat(self):		print("Crunch, Chruch")					dog = Animal() dog.noise()dog.move()dog.eat()dog.name()

If you wanted to use it in another part of the program you can use:

print(dog.name())

Although this doesn't really answer your question. The reason (i think) why it doesn't run is because get_name is not part of dog, but set_name is.

 

Edit: Out of interest what does self do?

Not quite sure. I am following this tutorial.
