3,905 Points__str__ simply won't work when i print my instance
iv'e added the str method on to my monster class, but whenever i create an instance and try to print it, it just gives me the general <monster.Monster object at *memory space*>
monster.py:
from combat import Combat
import random
COLORS = ['yellow', 'blue', 'green', 'red']
class Monster(Combat):
min_hit_points = 1
max_hit_points = 1
min_experience = 1
max_experience = 1
sound = 'roar'
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.hit_points = random.randint(self.min_hit_points,self.max_hit_points)
self.exeprience = random.randint(self.min_experience,self.max_experience)
self.color = random.choice(COLORS)
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def battlecry(self):
return self.sound.upper()
def __str__(self):
return '{} {}, HP: {} , XP: {}'.format(self.color.title(),
self.__class__.__name__,
self.hit_points,
self.exeprience)
class Troll(Monster):
min_hit_points = 3
max_hit_points = 5
min_experience = 2
max_experience = 6
sound = 'growl'
class Dragon(Monster):
min_hit_points = 5
max_hit_points = 10
min_experience = 6
max_experience = 10
sound = 'raaaaaaaaar'
class Goblin(Monster):
max_hit_points = 3
max_experience = 2
sound = 'squeak'
what i type in console:
juju = Monster() #creating the instance print(juju)
thanks!

3,905 PointsAnish Walawalkar oh i'm sorry it probably got left out when i posted.
by general i mean the
<monster.Monster object at 0x03101990>
and here is my combay.py
import random
class Combat:
def __init__(self):
dodge_limit = 6
attack_limit = 6
def dodge(self):
roll = random.randint(1, self.dodge_limit)
return roll > 4
def attack(self):
roll = random.randint(1, self.attack_limit)
return roll > 4

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 24,728 PointsHi Lior, I have tested your code in IDE and it works perfectly for me. Maybe you should check again. Have you saved your code before running it?
Lior Dolinski
3,905 PointsI sure have.. What IDE do you use? perhaps it's a specific problem with my PyCharm..
Thanks again!
