Study Notes
Class Design and Initialization
- To add a home address to a class, create an 'address' attribute within the 'Friend' class to store this information.
- Accessing an attribute without a value leads to an error, highlighting the importance of initialization.
- To ensure users call the 'reset()' method regularly, consider structuring the class design to enforce this requirement.
Sentinel Values
- When the 'init()' method lacks a created instance, it can cause accessibility issues with attributes.
- Using sentinel default values helps mitigate problems associated with uninitialized attributes.
Method Calls and Class Context
- Class methods only have access to the class itself, not the instance, limiting their capabilities.
- Python automatically substitutes the 'self' argument with the instance object when methods are invoked.
Script Execution Guard
- Implement the pattern
if __name__ == "__main__":in every script to ensure that code only runs when the script is executed directly. - This practice is essential for functions that may be imported into other modules in the future, preventing unintended execution.
