TYhis is almost the same but you are using a dict. A sligtly more
readable version is to define a class Person:
class Person:
def __init__(self, parser):
self.first = parser.get(person, 'firstName')
Hey Alan, thanks for that explanation!
But the class you gave, does almost the same thing as my function. We
both store the info in a dic, so to retrieve info for a certain person,
we both have to do the same thing. Or am I missing something here? If
so, I would love to hear it! Because I have to admit that when I
program, I rarely use classes.
Yes, its not normal and the class probably should be called
ParsedPerson or somesuch. I ws trying to mimic the current code style
as much as possible, that was the reason for the
decision. Normally I would agree with you and use:
class Person:
def __init__(self, first, last, father, mother):
self.first = first
self.last = last
self.father = father
self.mother = mother
If I do it like this, I will have to parse all the data from the file
and then send them to this class and then call this class again to
retrieve it. Then I like my function better. But again, I would love to
hear if I'm wrong.
