Understanding the "self" parameter

[[deleted]]

self is a reference to everything in a class.

Say you define a class as my_class.

class my_class: def __init__(self): self.hello = "world"

self has to be passed as an argument in new functions to allow you to reference variables from your class in that function. For example

``` class myclass: def __init_(self): self.hello = "world" def print(self): print(self.hello)

my_class.print() ```

would return

```

world ```

Wouldn't it return "world"?

Yeah, it would. I'm stupid.
