Trying and failing to use class attributes

Question

Hey, I’m trying to do a practice problem where I defined a class BankAccount and a function that takes user input and adds an integer value to the balance attribute, but the addition isn’t working. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

class BankAccount:
def __init__(self, balance):
self._balance = balance

def __repr__(self):
return "Account Balance: {}".format(self._balance)

def deposit(self, amount):
self._balance += amount
return self._balance #you are not saving deposit here

acc = BankAccount(0)
acc.deposit(int(input()))
acc.deposit(int(input()))
print(acc)

Answer 2

I tried this before, but I didnt seperate the self._balance += amount and return statements (e.g. I did return self._balance += amount). I see now why that doesn’t work. This answera the question, thank you!
