name in the house like literally where
2,659.04
4.039
are you going to put them if you want to
2,661.119
4.921
remember the name in the house for this
2,663.079
4.601
student you've got to be able to store
2,666.04
3.84
those values somewhere and how do you
2,667.68
4.8
store them in the current object that
2,669.88
4.12
has just been
2,672.48
3.96
instantiated well the authors of python
2,674
3.839
decided that the convention is going to
2,676.44
4.28
be that this init method also semi
2,677.839
5.681
secretly takes a third argument that has
2,680.72
5.119
to come first by convention it's called
2,683.52
3.72
self but you could call it technically
2,685.839
2.841
anything you want but the convention is
2,687.24
4.24
to always call it self and self as its
2,688.68
5.28
name implies gives you access to the
2,691.48
4.48
current object that was just created
2,693.96
5.04
created what does that mean again now on
2,695.96
5.2
line 14 now that it's moved down a
2,699
4.319
little bit this line here is a
2,701.16
4.52
Constructor it constructs a student
2,703.319
4.04
object but there's nothing in that
2,705.68
3.439
object initially there's no name there's
2,707.359
4.2
no house but the object exists in the
2,709.119
4.801
computer's memory it's up to now you to
2,711.559
4.401
store the name and the house inside of
2,713.92
3.8
that object how do you do that well
2,715.96
4.119
python will just automatically call this
2,717.72
4.359
init method for you and it's going to
2,720.079
6.081
automatically pass in a reference to a
2,722.079
6.921
an argument that represents the current
2,726.16
5.04
object that it just constructed in
2,729
4.319
memory for you and it's up to you to
2,731.2
4.08
populate it with values and what this
2,733.319
4.321
means is that inside of your init method
2,735.28
5.039
you can literally do self. name to
2,737.64
5.919
create a new attribute AKA an instance
2,740.319
5.841
variable inside of that otherwise empty
2,743.559
4.961
object and put this name inside of it it
2,746.16
4.8
allows you to do self. house and store
2,748.52
4.36
that value of house now you could call
2,750.96
3.08
these things anything you want they
2,752.88
3.04
could be n they could be H as before
2,754.04
5.36
four but that's really not very self uh
2,755.92
5.639
explanatory much better to do this kind
2,759.4
4.919
of convention self. name equals name
2,761.559
5.241
self. house equals house and this is
2,764.319
5.52
like installing into the otherwise empty
2,766.8
5.92
object the value name and house and
2,769.839
5.641
storing them in really identically named
2,772.72
5.04
instance variables in the object and
2,775.48
4.359
again an object is just an instance of a
2,777.76
4.4
class now I know that was a lot of
2,779.839
4.801
vocabulary that's a lot of weird syntax
2,782.16
5.52
so any questions on this init method
2,784.64
4.56
whose purpose in life again is to
2,787.68
4.439
initialize an otherwise empty object
2,789.2
4.84
when you first create it so what is the
2,792.119
4.121
difference between the init method and
2,794.04
5.079
default Constructor a good question so
2,796.24
4.839
in other languages if you programmed
2,799.119
4.48
before for instance Java there are
2,801.079
4.201
functions that are explicitly called
2,803.599
3.881
Constructors that indeed construct an
2,805.28
4.319
object they initialize it with values
2,807.48
3.92
python technically calls this init
2,809.599
3.841
method the initialization method it
2,811.4
5.4
initializes the value it's online 14 uh
2,813.44
5.72
line 15 now of my code if I scroll back
2,816.8
4.72
down that I'm technically constructing
2,819.16
5
the object it turns out there's another
2,821.52
4.2
special method in Python that we won't
2,824.16
3.6
talk about in detail today called
2,825.72
4.599
underscore uncore new underscore
2,827.76
4.559
underscore that actually handles the
2,830.319
4.04
process of creating an empty object in
2,832.319
4.721
memory for us but generally speaking you
2,834.359
4.641
the programmer don't need to manipulate
2,837.04
4
the new function it just works for you
2,839
4.319
instead you define your own init method
2,841.04
4.279
here an init function inside of your
2,843.319
4.881
class and that method initializes the
2,845.319
5.161
contents of the object so there's
2,848.2
3.48
technically a distinction between
2,850.48
3.04
constructing the object with new and
2,851.68
3.84
initializing it with in it but in the
2,853.52
3.76
world of python you pretty much only
2,855.52
4.48
worry about the in it method python
2,857.28
5.12
generally does the other part for you a
2,860
4.8
good question others uh what about if
2,862.4
5.439
you want to store more than one name or
2,864.8
4.96
more than one house a good question if
2,867.839
3.881
you want to store more than one name or
2,869.76
3.4
more than one house you can do this in
2,871.72
3.359
different ways you could create other
2,873.16
4.159
attributes technically called instance
2,875.079
6.161
variables like self. name one self. name
2,877.319
5.961
two but we've seen in the past that that
2,881.24
3.72
is not a very good design just to have
2,883.28
3.4
multiple variables to store multiple
2,884.96
