Please explain to me what initializing is,like when you _init_ a function or class . what is _init_ and what does it really do ? do you need it?
Do you know how it is when you get in a car, and turn the key in the ignition, and change into gear, and only then the car is ready to drive forward? That's initializing.
As for whether you need to initialize or not, that depends on whether you're driving a car or pedaling a push-bike. Not everything needs special steps before it is ready to use.
In Python, when you create a new instance, *if* the class defines __init__, then it will be run to perform the initialization. If you don't need one, don't bother with a pointless "do nothing" __init__.
