00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:04,120
In this video,
we're going to tackle dunder iter.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,430
This dunder method helps Python know how
to handle iterating through an instance,

3
00:00:09,430 --> 00:00:12,490
like you would with while or for loops.

4
00:00:12,490 --> 00:00:15,567
Right now, if we tried to
iterate through our instance,

5
00:00:15,567 --> 00:00:17,435
we would get something like this.

6
00:00:38,675 --> 00:00:42,176
Car object is not iterable.

7
00:00:42,176 --> 00:00:47,720
Right now, Python has no clue what you
want it to do here, so let's help it out.

8
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:53,999
Now, it doesn't make a lot of sense
to add this method to our car class.

9
00:00:53,999 --> 00:00:59,870
What would make more sense is
a group of cars at a car dealership.

10
00:00:59,870 --> 00:01:02,106
Let's create a new class
called dealership.

11
00:01:11,380 --> 00:01:12,986
Create our init method.

12
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:18,943
And give it a list of cars.

13
00:01:38,141 --> 00:01:41,730
Now we have something to iterate through.

14
00:01:41,730 --> 00:01:43,869
Let's add our dunder iter method.

15
00:01:54,242 --> 00:02:00,489
Inside of our method we'll
add yield from self.cars.

16
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:07,420
Yield from is a keyword that tells Python
to grab each item in the iterable

17
00:02:07,420 --> 00:02:11,670
we're giving it here the cars list and
return it.

18
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:14,840
Let's see it in action.

19
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,440
First, create an instance and then loop
through our cars with the for loop.

20
00:02:47,405 --> 00:02:55,305
Run it, and the console shows our cars.

21
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,850
Now, how can we combine our two classes?

22
00:03:00,850 --> 00:03:05,020
We've got one for cars,
and one for a dealership.

23
00:03:05,020 --> 00:03:06,340
Seems like a match to me.

24
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,940
Let's remove our cars in the list here.

25
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,392
So we're back at an empty list.

26
00:03:15,033 --> 00:03:19,520
Then we can add a method that lets
us add cars to our dealership.

27
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:24,236
We'll call this method add_cars.

28
00:03:30,803 --> 00:03:34,220
It'll take self and a car for arguments.

29
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:39,914
And inside the method we'll
append the car to our list.

30
00:03:46,113 --> 00:03:46,613
Perfect!

31
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:52,770
Now we can use this method to
add some cars to our dealership.

32
00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:55,652
Let's create a few car instances and
add them

33
00:04:35,151 --> 00:04:39,389
Copy and
paste to make it a little bit faster.

34
00:04:45,083 --> 00:04:48,884
Now when we run the file,

35
00:04:48,884 --> 00:04:54,140
we see our new cars in the console.

36
00:04:55,750 --> 00:05:01,620
Now, if you didn't notice we've got
two dunder methods working together.

37
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:05,380
If we comment out the dunder
string method on our car class,

38
00:05:13,603 --> 00:05:18,561
And run the file, you can

39
00:05:18,561 --> 00:05:23,110
see we're back at having these
object messages in the console.

40
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:26,607
This is because Python is
going into our dealership,

41
00:05:30,701 --> 00:05:32,840
And grabbing our list of cars.

42
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:42,060
Then when each car instance is printed
out, it activates my trap cards.

43
00:05:43,940 --> 00:05:49,025
No, but it does activate the dunder
string method of our car class

44
00:05:52,330 --> 00:05:57,350
Nice work, take a few minutes
to try this out on your own.

45
00:05:57,350 --> 00:06:01,674
You can create two classes like a book and
bookcase, or

46
00:06:01,674 --> 00:06:05,443
candy and
candy store to practice dunder iter.

47
00:06:05,443 --> 00:06:07,970
Check the teachers notes
to see what I came up with.

48
00:06:09,130 --> 00:06:10,060
Keep up the hard work.
