How to assign types/values to variables in classes

Here, I'm trying to make an object (A 20 sided die) with the following qualities; Name, and Number of sides.

The way I wanna build this is that when I call the class (or make a new "Dice" object,) all I need to tell the code is what to name the dice, and how many sides there are on it. (1 to 20, in this case.)

class Dice: #The class itself, the outline for the Dice to come.



    def __init__(self, name, nsides): 



    #The initializing bit, along with                      

    #the stats I want these objects to carry.



        self.name = name("")                     

        self.nsides = nsides(list(range(int, int)))



    #I was thinking the above code tells python that the value nsides,                                                                                                 

    #when referencing Dice, is a list, that is being organized into  

    #a range, where the items in said range would always be integers.



d20 = Dice("d20", (1, 21))



#This is where I'm creating an instance of Dice, followed by filling out 

#the fields name and the integers in nsides's list/range.



print(d20.nsides)







print(d20.nsides)



#The expected outcome is the following being printed:



#[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]



#What I get however is this error upon running:



#Expected type 'int'. got 'Type[int]' instead.

In your initialization, why do you call name() and nsides()? You've passed in the arguments, they are not pointers to functions.

So that's calling? I thought that was simply telling python that name = string and nsides = etc. I'm like fresh out the academy. In fact I've never even been to the academy. Is Stack Overflow like, not the place to be for learning from scratch? Like bullshit ain't tolerated here?

Your error is occurring as you are parsing the 'range' class a new Int Class object, not an integer. However there are other errors, such as trying the call a string object: name("") which shouldn't work.

Your init class can be amended to:

def __init__(self, name, nsides):



    self.name = name

    self.nsides = list(range(*nsides))

The "*" will unpack your tuple into useable integers for the range class to use

So I corrected my code, and it worked great! (Thanks by the way!) But just a quick question; why does "*" unpack the tuple. Also, why is the list variable being considered as a tuple? Are they the same thing? I read that one is "immutable" or something like that...

– mason villeneuve

An object that is surrounded in curly brackets ('spam', 'eggs') is a tuple. A list is defined in square brackets [ 'spam', 'eggs'], therefore you are sending the dice class a tuple, not a list. In this case, either would work. You are correct however that a tuple is immutable. With regards asterisk operator, check out information on *args and **kwargs. It will give you some useful insight into how python classes work.
