Iā€™m actually having issues once I get to the Inheritance slide with the part about polly = bird(ā€œGreenā€) and the self.color = color.

Could you explain these issues?

4 
class bird(animal):

  def __init__(self):
    self.name = "Bird"
    self.species = "Avian"
    self.sound = "Tweet"
    self.color = color # Only applies to the bird sub class


polly = bird("Green") # Sets polly's colour to 'Green'
polly.talk()
print(polly.color) # Prints polly's color

This is the code given in the example (the part Iā€™m having issues with)

This is the error Iā€™m getting: TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

5 
class bird(animal):

  def __init__(self, color):
    self.name = "Bird"
    self.species = "Avian"
    self.sound = "Tweet"
    self.color = color # Only applies to the bird sub class


polly = bird("Green") # Sets polly's colour to 'Green'
polly.talk()
print(polly.color) # Prints polly's color

Wow, thanks. That makes a sense.

7

youā€™re welcome, itā€™s easy to make typos, especially when learning :smiley:

8

It doesnā€™t explain it in the lesson though. What I pasted here was from the lesson portion of it. I do understand though that some of the learning is probably intended to be figuring things out.

9

mhm, yeah I can see that being a problem, you should perhaps ping DavidAtReplit and make a support ticket for confusing lessons

10

Will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks a bunch for the help with this.

11

Youā€™re welcome! Have a nice day

12

yeah and in the ā€œfix my codeā€ the answer is not working, the talk() is missing and the color attribute is not handled right. so @DavidAtReplit should maybe review his answer and correct it :slight_smile:

I had a lot of challenges with this day

BUT

I will share, for posterity, my miracle cure that I will (now) continue to use.

Here, fellow learners, is my miracle ChatGPT prompt for this lesson:

INSTRUCTIONS: Help me with my assignment by asking questions. DO NOT GIVE ME THE ANSWERS.

Assignment = {{
~INSERT Day 64 CHALLENGE TEXT HERE~
}}

My Current Code = {{
~INSERT WHATEVA YA GOT / CURRENT CODE HERE~
}}

The magic of finding my own way through the mazeā€¦ feeding ChatGPT this promptā€¦ Wellā€¦

tips hat

Iā€™ve been longing to understand the basics of OOP for so longā€¦ sigh of relief

Have you looked into Corey Schaferā€™s youtube series on OOP?

15

@EmeraldMoss , I have not! So, thank you for the hot tip. Iā€™ll be checking Coreyā€™s channel out after watching a short video from him.

mini-miracles erryday, yā€™all :sparkles:

Me too :confused: it keeps saying that ā€˜birdā€™ object has no attribute ā€˜colorā€™ but thanks for the help now!

Actually rolling the video on, I can see at ~8:00 I can see that David adds the additional str elements.

Note to self: watch it twice before shouting!

Iā€™d actually done this already in one way or another:

blackbird = bird("green")
blackbird.talk()

print(f"The {blackbird.color} {blackbird.name} says {blackbird.sound}")
