I want to display the ship default value for zero and display the ship's
initial fuel level. Also have a method called status that displays an
object's name and fuel values.
So far so good.
I want to have several Ship objects and call their status() methods
to test various aspects of the class constructor.
Now I'm confused.
Does status "test various aspects of the class constructor" or does it
"display an objects name and fuel values"? These are not the same thing...
Here's my code:
class Ship(object):
"""A spaceship"""
total = 0
def __init__(self, name, fuel = 0):
print "My spaceship has arrived! The",name
self.name = name
self.fuel = fuel
print "My fuel level is", fuel
def status():
Ship.total += 1
What is the puropse of thoe above line?
Why is it part of status()?
print "The total number of objects is", Ship.total
status = staticmethod(status)
And why is it a staticmethod?
ship = Ship("Galaxia")
print "\nCreating objects."
ship1 = Ship("object 1")
ship2 = Ship("object 2")
ship3 = Ship("object 3")
Ship.status()
What do you expect the output to be?
And what is it really? Are they different?
Why?
