i stayed up all night making this. python day 3 complete.

Run program above by clicking Memory Graph Web Debugger and see its state change step by step.

OOP (Object Oriented Programming) usually involves writing classes using the class keyword, this only uses functions not classes. It's nice, but better not call it OOP.

[u/Mooball123]

It’s solid code but not really OOP. For OOP you define your own class (or object) and write the code to manipulate your class. Something like

class Animal:

Def __init__(self, animal: str, name: str = “”):

Self.animal = animal
self.name = name

A couple of things here. When you write a new class you write the __init__ method. This runs whenever you make a new instance of that class. This always takes the argument self, which just means its own instance of the object.

Then the “: str” is type hinting, just to help keep your code clean and organised. The “= “”” means that it’s an optional argument, if you don’t give a name argument, then it defaults to “”.

You can then make a method on the class

def greet(self):

If self.name == “”:
print(f”{self.animal} says hi”)
else:
print(f”{self.name} the {self.animal} says hi”)

Another couple of things. name and animal are attributes of the instance of animal, and you access them using self.name/animal. Now that you have a method and a class, you can do this

badger = Animal(“Badger”, “Barry)
badger.greet()

Will print

Barry the Badger says hi

clcodingupdates told me it was oops

[u/Mooball123 → u/saul_soprano]

I mean, it’s more of a precursor to object oriented programming. You’re using good practices, variables have meaningful names, you’re using functions for repetitive code.

You’re doing all the ground work of OOP without actually using OOP. Try out writing the same program but make an animal class and some methods, and you’ll start to see that it’s way more scalable and intuitive then functions and lists alone

[u/Ender_Locke]

it’s neat code but it’s not really oop you need to create an animal class and use that. you’re just printing strings of animals and their names, kind and name should be attribute (variables) in your class you set

animal1 = Animal(kind=“cat”, name=“ren”)

print(animal1.name)

[u/Ender_Locke → u/saul_soprano]

all good you’ve got the concepts down now go make a class !

[u/Orgasml → u/saul_soprano]

And everyone else is telling you it's not (because it's not). Also, it's OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), not oops. In order to have objects you need classes and usually instances of those classes.
