I want to create class instances and name them with user input strings. Something like this, that actually works. Any ideas?
class Account:
balance=0
input("What's your name?") = Account()
If the user were to type Scott, I would like to be able to call attributes using Scott.balance etc.
You are probably better off storing them in a dictionary. Creating variables in the global / local space with user input is a recipe for trouble.
accounts = {}
account[x] = Account()
account[name].balance += 100Use built-in raw_input to have user input as argument of your 'constructor'
class Account:
def __init__(self, name=0, money=0):
self.name = name
self.money = money
input = raw_input("What's your name? -->")
account = Account(input,10000)
Give your class an __init__ method:
class Account:
def __init__(self, x=1, y=2):
self.x = x
self.y = y
And just initialize it:
def createAccount(x):
return Account(x)
We can input string from outside the class by just passing it in to init as normal using two ways : input() or raw_input().
class Account:
def __init__(self, balance):
self.balance = balance
def output_all(self):
print( '{}'.format(self.balance))
MyAccount = Account(input('Type your account : '))
Account.output_all(MyAccount)
You can also add the input to a list, then create an instance of the class by referencing the list element:
class Account:
balance=0
account_names = []
account_names.append(input("What's your name?"))
account_names[0] = Account()
To change/access class attribute, reference the list element:
>>> account_names[0].balance += 100
>>> account_names[0].balance
100
