Question

How to test a class?
In problem 5 we are creating classes but there is no apparent method to test them to see if we wrote them correctly. If I put a class in a separate file, how could I test this class for proper implementation?

Answer 1

Creat your own def with some set parameters and show (print) them, to see if you get what you want.

Answer 2

All these "self" terms to specify which class confuse me. It seems like they should be implicit, not explicit. Seems like extra writing for something that is obvious. But, yes, I see now how you can make a file for each class and test them out separately by using simply outputs and inputs.

class WordTrigger(Trigger):
def __init__(self,word):
self.word = word

def is_word_in(self,text):
if self.word in text:
return True
else:
return False

Answer 3

Is kinda confussing the "self" at the beginning, but necessary :/
