assign values to members of class objects

Posted: Nov 5, 2007 11:59 AM

Hi,

I have a question regard to assign the values to each memebrs of the class objects because I have a large list of class objects. Can I do the following? If not, how can I achieve the same thing? Thanks in advance.

class person():
def __init__(self):
self.name = ' '
self.job = ' '
self.age = 0

# define a list of class objects
personList = []

personList[0].name = 'abc'
personList[0].job = 'worker'
personList[0].age = 20
personList[1].name = 'efg'
personList[1].job = 'student'
personList[1].age = 22
personList[2].name = 'hlk'
personList[2].job = 'doctor'
personList[2].age = 25

This should work, just not very efficiently, so use either this


person1 = personList[0]
person1.name = 'abc'
person1.job = 'worker'
person1.age = 20

Or iteratively


for person in personList:
    person.name = 'abc'
    person.job = 'worker'
    person.age = 20

You can also set these variables in the class's __init__ method by rearranging the class like so


class person():
    def __init__(self,name='',job='',age=0):
        self.name = name
        self.job = job
        self.age = age
person1 = person('abc','worker',20)
