The Ultimate Guide to Python Programming With Python 3.10 - Methods or Object Functions

The video tutorial explains how to define methods in Python classes, focusing on the init method and the use of the self argument. It demonstrates creating a custom method, accessing class attributes, and executing the method to display output. The tutorial emphasizes that while 'self' is a convention, it is not mandatory, and any name can be used. The process of defining a show method and running it to print results is detailed, showcasing the flexibility and functionality of class methods in Python.

What is the purpose of the 'self' argument in Python class methods?

• It is a keyword for creating new classes.

• It is a placeholder for the current object instance.

• It refers to the class itself.

• It is used to define static methods.

Which of the following is true about the 'self' argument?

• It must always be named 'self'.

• It can be replaced with any other name.

• It is optional in class methods.

• It is used to define class variables.

How can you access an attribute of a class inside a method?

• Using the 'class' keyword followed by the attribute name.

• By importing the attribute from another module.

• By directly calling the attribute name.

• Using the 'self' keyword followed by a dot and the attribute name.

What does the custom method in the example do with the name attribute?

• It calculates the length of the name and formats it with dashes.

• It converts the name to uppercase.

• It appends a suffix to the name.

• It reverses the name string.

What is the final step to see the output of the custom method?

• Compile the Python file.

• Run the Python file and check the terminal.

• Export the output to a text file.

• Debug the Python file.
