1
00:00:00,437 --> 00:00:01,192
Ready to see my solution?

2
00:00:01,192 --> 00:00:03,750
Let's dig in.

3
00:00:03,750 --> 00:00:06,977
The first step was to create
a class called Treehouse.

4
00:00:06,977 --> 00:00:09,344
So I'm gonna do a couple spaces here.

5
00:00:09,344 --> 00:00:17,911
And let's do class, and remember the name of
the class should be capitalized, so Treehouse.

6
00:00:17,911 --> 00:00:20,595
Oops, I need two S's there.

7
00:00:20,595 --> 00:00:21,894
There we go.

8
00:00:21,894 --> 00:00:26,416
Okay, inside of our class, we need to add

9
00:00:26,416 --> 00:00:31,457
a class attribute called product, product,

10
00:00:31,457 --> 00:00:36,513
and set it equal to
the string coding courses.

11
00:00:36,513 --> 00:00:37,433
And you know what?

12
00:00:37,433 --> 00:00:43,268
I'm just gonna copy this, copy, paste.

13
00:00:43,268 --> 00:00:44,269
Perfect, two steps done.

14
00:00:44,269 --> 00:00:49,883
Three, add an initializer method
that takes a parameter called name.

15
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:53,030
I'm gonna put a space here, and

16
00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:58,869
our initializer method is our def,
define, dunder init.

17
00:00:58,869 --> 00:01:03,307
And you can see it kinda adds
some stuff automatically here,

18
00:01:03,307 --> 00:01:05,752
thanks to my Visual Studio Code.

19
00:01:05,752 --> 00:01:11,689
And inside, it's going to always
take self and we're gonna add name.

20
00:01:11,689 --> 00:01:16,314
So number three complete.

21
00:01:16,314 --> 00:01:17,481
Number four,

22
00:01:17,481 --> 00:01:23,521
add a name instance attribute set equal
to the parameter being passed in.

23
00:01:23,521 --> 00:01:26,091
So what we wanna do is set
an instance attribute,

24
00:01:26,091 --> 00:01:29,111
which are attributes inside
of our initializer method.

25
00:01:29,111 --> 00:01:33,879
And we wanna set our name
attribute that's being passed in.

26
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:38,683
So self.name is our attribute,
instance attribute, and

27
00:01:38,683 --> 00:01:44,359
we're setting that equal to name
that's being passed in, perfect.

28
00:01:46,514 --> 00:01:48,349
Number four is complete.

29
00:01:48,349 --> 00:01:51,855
Number five, we're going to
create a method called learn.

30
00:01:51,855 --> 00:01:54,240
Let's do that step first.

31
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,462
Add another space here, def,
and method is called learn.

32
00:01:59,462 --> 00:02:01,992
All methods inside of classes
will need to take self.

33
00:02:01,992 --> 00:02:07,371
Inside, the method should return

34
00:02:07,371 --> 00:02:12,574
a string, so let's set that up.

35
00:02:12,574 --> 00:02:13,665
Return, have a string.

36
00:02:13,665 --> 00:02:19,483
It needs to contain the name
instance attribute.

37
00:02:19,483 --> 00:02:22,758
So you would get something
like Tim is learning to code,

38
00:02:22,758 --> 00:02:25,694
where Tim is the name being
passed into our class.

39
00:02:25,694 --> 00:02:27,832
So I'm gonna copy our
string here actually.

40
00:02:27,832 --> 00:02:30,294
We'll just replace this.

41
00:02:30,294 --> 00:02:35,505
Okay, and Tim, I forgot,

42
00:02:35,505 --> 00:02:40,913
it's going to give us the funky.

43
00:02:40,913 --> 00:02:45,431
If you notice that, it's kind of hard
to tell, it's the same thing up here,

44
00:02:45,431 --> 00:02:47,586
I'm gonna have to change those, but

45
00:02:47,586 --> 00:02:50,661
it's actually a different
type of quotation mark.

46
00:02:50,661 --> 00:02:53,397
That happens sometimes when you copy and

47
00:02:53,397 --> 00:02:56,703
paste from like a Word doc
into your coding file.

48
00:02:56,703 --> 00:03:01,088
So you can see when I change it to
what I usually use for double quotes,

49
00:03:01,088 --> 00:03:03,140
it shows something different.

50
00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:07,830
So just as a heads up, make sure you
have your right quotations in there.

51
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:11,280
Okay, with that fixed,
now we can get back to it.

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,023
So I'm gonna turn this into an f string
because we need to add this variable,

53
00:03:17,023 --> 00:03:20,369
our instance attribute, into our string.

54
00:03:20,369 --> 00:03:23,906
So that when we create a class and
we pass in a name,

55
00:03:23,906 --> 00:03:29,149
that is what will be passed into this
method and printed out to the screen.

56
00:03:29,149 --> 00:03:31,576
So we need our brackets.

57
00:03:31,576 --> 00:03:37,050
And then to access our instance attribute,
we do self dot,

58
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:42,865
and you can see up there at the top,
it's already got it for us.

59
00:03:42,865 --> 00:03:48,020
So I can hit Enter, name, and you can
see it says variable name, perfect.

60
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:54,035
Now number six,
create an instance of the class and

61
00:03:54,035 --> 00:03:58,250
save it to a variable named my_treehouse.

62
00:03:58,250 --> 00:04:00,680
Pass in your name as the name parameter.

63
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,260
All right, so let me get out of our class,
give a little space here.

64
00:04:07,260 --> 00:04:13,182
Variable needs to be called my_treehouse,
set it equal to an instance of the class.

65
00:04:13,182 --> 00:04:16,408
So we're gonna call the class just
like we would call a function.

66
00:04:16,408 --> 00:04:19,156
And then you can see it's looking for
a name,

67
00:04:19,156 --> 00:04:22,204
it's giving us a hint here
in Visual Studio Code.

68
00:04:22,204 --> 00:04:25,576
Because I need to pass
in that name variable,

69
00:04:25,576 --> 00:04:30,386
it's going to look for
it because it's required, right here.

70
00:04:30,386 --> 00:04:34,615
So I'm gonna pass in my name,
which is Megan.

71
00:04:34,615 --> 00:04:40,330
And then our final step, call your
learn method and print out the result.

72
00:04:42,260 --> 00:04:47,258
So calling our method, we need to do,
I'm just gonna use our

73
00:04:47,258 --> 00:04:52,850
variable because that is equal
to our instance of our class.

74
00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:58,957
And then to call our method, .learn,
and you can see it pops it up.

75
00:04:58,957 --> 00:05:00,871
Remember, learn is our method, and

76
00:05:00,871 --> 00:05:04,906
it even tells you right here when you
highlight over it in Visual Studio Code.

77
00:05:04,906 --> 00:05:09,619
And then it automatically popped in the
parentheses for us because it's a function

78
00:05:09,619 --> 00:05:14,120
that we're going to call,
a method is a function inside of a class.

79
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,906
Now, this is going to return something,

80
00:05:15,906 --> 00:05:18,540
which is why I'm asking
you to print it out.

81
00:05:18,540 --> 00:05:21,333
So I'm gonna wrap this
in a print statement,

82
00:05:23,771 --> 00:05:29,391
Hit Save, and now I can run my file.

83
00:05:29,391 --> 00:05:33,521
So python, I'm on a Mac, so I have to
do 3 cuz I have a couple different

84
00:05:33,521 --> 00:05:35,628
versions of Python on my computer.

85
00:05:35,628 --> 00:05:39,802
And then the file name,
which is oop_practice.py.

86
00:05:39,802 --> 00:05:43,722
Hit Enter, and you should get your string.

87
00:05:43,722 --> 00:05:50,961
So I pass in Megan as my name, which is
set as my instance attribute self.name,

88
00:05:50,961 --> 00:05:57,239
which is being used inside of this
method which returns this string.

89
00:05:57,239 --> 00:06:02,574
And we're calling that method down
here and printing it all out,

90
00:06:02,574 --> 00:06:07,918
which is getting sent to our console,
Megan is learning to code.

91
00:06:07,918 --> 00:06:13,450
I hope you enjoyed the OOP
vocabulary practice session here.

92
00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:19,210
Keep practicing, keep working on your OOP,
and it'll definitely start to stick.
