Hello tech with Tim I'm a 14 year old trying to learn python. I'm finding it hard to get out of the beginner phase. I tried code wars but found the problems too hard. Any advice on how to practice and improve and what resources I can use. I have pycharm ide set up and have lots of free time with this quarantine going on.

Explanation on self: self refers to the class. Say you are defining a function and you use the parameter self. That parameter means that you will use that class you’re defining the function in. You will have access to all its attributes by just typing in self.attribute

[@0xBerto]

Wait seriously this was just uploaded woo. Haha. So happy I found this channel Edit: this was the “easiest” 53 min of coding to digest on a video. Tone, example, audio quality, clarity. First step slow and explained. Then doing it again a little faster. Loved this video. More intermediate Python vids please ! 🙏🏼

[@khmsalhuas1]

at 39:00 the reason we do super().__init__(*args) is to extend the Pet.__init__() method and add more attributes without completely overwriting the Pet.__init__() that gives us access to the self.name and self.age attributes that are used in the other methods like show. So the way I think of inheritance is there are four ways of doing this: 1) straight stealing from the parent class , 2) completely overwriting the parent class methods, 4) partially overwriting the method (extending the parent method (using super)), 4) independent new method.

[@rajatchopra1411]

[@aathira]

Thank you so much Tim! I have had so much confusion about OOP for years and today after watching your tutorial I can say confidently that I understand OOP much better. Thank you

[@letslearnabout4934]

When I started learning OOP it took me a while to differentiate between methods types, so if you are struggling with that too, here's a quick summary: Method = function related to that instance of a class. Use this type it when you are using values of the own instance (its own name, age, etc). You need to create one instance to use it. Classmethod = function related to that class and that class only. Use this type when you are using values of the class, not the instance (For example, using a class that retrieves the total count of instances of that Class created and stored in a class variable). You don't need to create one instance to use it. Staticmethod = function not related to that class. Used for organization purposes (For example, a Calculator class with add, subtract, multiplicate, etc methods). You don't need to create one instance to use it.

This is a really good video. I'm a chemical engineer, and I've been using python for simple scripting and numerical methods (e.g. 1D+time FEM) for a few years. This video taught me everything I need to know to simulate a helium brayton cycle. Each stream is an object under the class 'State' and each piece of equipment is an object under the classes 'Heat' and 'Work', each of which inherit its inlet/outlet streams from the parent class 'Equipment'. I'm sure as I watch your more advanced series on the topic I will realize how clunky my first attempt is and will be able to improve it.
