Python object creation

class, object, python

Solution

derived from object for new-style class use `__init__` to initialize the new instance, not `__self__` `__main__` is helpful too.

class Car(object):
    def __init__(self,input):
        self.carName = input

    def showName(self):
        print self.carName
def main():
    a = Car("bmw")
    a.showName()
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Problem

I am pretty new to Python world and trying to learn it. This is what I am trying to achieve: I want to create a Car class, its constructor checks for the input to set the object carName as the input. I try to do this by using the java logic but I seem to fail :) ``` class Car(): carName = "" #how can I define a non assigned variable anyway like "String carName;" in java def __self__(self,input): self.carName = input def showName(): print carName a = Car("bmw") a.showName() ```
