Messaging a Python Object

Looks at how a die (dice) can be implemented in a Python program and shows the importance of messaging Python objects.

Great teacher.

[@cristofapeeking6899]

Excellent. I wish all tutorials were as explicit as this.

[@SundaraPaalRT]

Thanks, Phil. Awesome tutorials on Python. You saved me at-least couple of weeks of reading.
Thanks again.

Hi Phil, i just started your series on python and am enjoying your teaching style. If you are by chance taking suggestions on new videos, would you be able to get into numpy and pandas? Thanks

Lovely to watch and I learned from you to make an amendment. I am standing on the shoulders of a Giant :)))) THANK YOU.
I am also thinking now of forming a list and calculating sum and average of that list .
import random
i = 1
class Die:
def __init__(self):
self.side = 0
def throw(self):
self.side = random.randint(1, 45)
def get_value(self):
return self.side
my_die = Die()
while i

Great vid JPJ!

Eagerly waiting for more if you have any planned...

[@baaley1]

thanks

[@zeeshanakram8751]

Sir! there is a question:
is "self.side" mutable ? Question raised because the value of "self.side" changed from "0" to "6" without creating another object.

[@johnphilipjones]

self.side is a property of the class and can be changed. However, the type of the number stored in this property is an integer. An integer is immutable and cannot be changed. So when you generate a number between 1 and 6 a different integer (i.e. object) is stored in the property.

So attribute is the only thing has the __init__ property? Not the methods/behaviors?
