I am trying to write a food shopping list.
The user should be able to add items to that shopping list, and later
on decide what should happen to those purchased foods: instantly
consumed or stored.
My initial idea was to create a parent class to populate the shopping
list and a child class to manage the purchased items as described
above.
While writing the parent class, I ran into the following issue:
How do I properly declare a variable that takes user input?
Do I write methods in the same fashion like in a regular function?
And how do I call that class properly?
This is what I came up with:
class BuyFoods(object):
def __init__(self, outlet):
self.outlet = outlet
def CreateShoppingList(self, shopping_list, prompt, food):
self.shopping_list = shopping_list
self.prompt = prompt
self.food = food
shopping_list = []
prompt = ("Which foods would you like to purchase?\nEnter
'quit' to exit. ")
food = input(prompt)
while food != "quit":
shopping_list.append(food)
food = input(prompt)
print("You just purchased these foods: %s." % ", ".join(shopping_list))
Tesco = BuyFoods("Tesco")
Tesco.CreateShoppingList()
That's the error message I get:
