Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10, Problem 5SA
Explanation of Solution
“__init__” method:
- • It is a special method in Python class.
- • This method is automatically executed when the instance of the class is created in the memory.
- • This method is most commonly known as the initializer method.
- • This method initializes the object’s data attributes.
- • The method name should start with two underscores and end with two underscores.
Purpose of “self” parameter:
- • It is required in every method of a class.
- • This parameter refers to the specific object that the method operates on.
- • It must be present in a method.
- • It is automatically assigned to the object that was just created.
Example:
#define the class Emp_class
class Emp_class:
#defined the init method
def __init__(self, name, salary):
#assign name
self.name = name
#assign salary
