I'm getting this error while running this below code.
import random
class Character:
def __int__(self,name,sneaky=True,**kwargs):
self.name=name
self.sneaky=sneaky
for key,value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,key,value)
class Thief(Character):
sneaky=True
def __init__(self,name,sneaky=True,**kwargs):
Character.__init__(self,name,**kwargs)
self.sneaky=sneaky
def pickpocket(self):
return self.sneaky and bool(random.randint(0,1))
def hide(self,light_level):
return self.sneaky and light_level<10
kenneth=Thief('chinni',sneaky=False,clever=True)
print(kenneth.sneaky())
In console,My output is :
Traceback (most recent call last):
