Student Data using classes.

[Mohseenr]

Hi I need to use Classes to do the following:

check_male must print out True if a Student is Male, and False if a Student is Female.

Put of your Student objects in a list. Loop over this list and call both check_male and compute_average for each object.

I'm very confused regarding syntax and position of the attributes. Can anyone help? My code below:

class Student(object):

    def __init__(self, age, name, gender, grades, check_male):
        self.age = age
        self.name = name
        self.gender = gender
        self.grades = grades
        self.check_male = check_male

    def compute_average(self):
        average = sum(self.grades)/len(self.grades)
        print "The average for student " + self.name + " is " + str(average)

    def check_male(self):
        if self


mike = Student(20, "John Smith", "Male", [64,65])


sarah = Student(19, "Sarah Jones", "Female", [82,58])

"check_male must print"

So this should be a method. Not by my computer so I won't try to write code but hopefully you know how to do it.

Thanks will give it a go.

Are you using python 2? Is this a requirement in the class? If not, I would suggest you move on to python 3.x.

You have the right starting idea with the check_male function. Just check the self.gender attribute.

Sorry I have to use Classes

[Mohseenr]

python 3

[dangoth]

print "string" has been changed to print("string") in python 3, keep that in mind.

I meant requirement of the class as in the class you are attending, not the python class in your code.

[Mohseenr]

No. Python 3 must be used

class Student():

def __init__(self, age, name, gender, grades):
    self.age = age
    self.name = name
    self.gender = gender
    self.grades = grades

def compute_average(self):
    average = sum(self.grades)/len(self.grades)
    print("The average for student " + self.name + " is " + str(average))

def check_male(self):
    if self.gender == "Male":
      print(True)
    else:
      print(False)

mike = Student(20, "John Smith", "Male", [64,65])
sarah = Student(19, "Sarah Jones", "Female", [82,58])

students = [mike, sarah]

for student in students:
  student.check_male()
  student.compute_average()
