in the CLASS definition here, why isn't def __init__ ... there????

Question

class Spam:
__egg = 7
def print_egg(self):
print(self.__egg)

s = Spam()
s.print_egg()
print(s._Spam__egg)
print(s.__egg)

Answer 1

is it because that since there's NOT ANY ATTRIBUTES AT ALL aside from the obvious self attribute, we'd just have def __init(self)__, in which case it's totally fine and OK to skip this??? an exceptional case where you can skip doing this def __int__ bit, due to no attributes aside from the trivial self attribute

Answer 2

thanks !

Answer 3

hang on! isn't "s", where s=Spam(), an instance of the class Spam? I'm confused still, didn't quite understand what you were saying there I'm afraid. Plz further explain...

Answer 4

The __init__ method is typically used to initialise an instance of the class. You don't need it if you don't need to initialise anything.

Answer 5

I think there is nothing to initialise other than self .. and we don't need to initialise self

Answer 6

__init__..is used to call the class automatically without any object declaration

Answer 7

you only declared a variable and I do not see any object in your code? 🧐🧐

Answer 8

so that is why their is no def __init__():
