Question

class person():
    def __init__(self):
        self.height = 3.0
        self.weight = 240.0
        self.temp = 99.23

        self.statlist = [self.height, self.weight, self.temp]

    def grow(self):
        self.statlist[1] = self.statlist[1] + 26.0

What is the best way to approach this?

The problem is that I’m trying to access these ‘stat’ attributes from a list and alter them, but I really don’t know how to call them. I need to do this so I can randomly choose a stat to modify. Should I make a stat class, so that each stat is an instance of that class?

Any help would be magnificent.

import random

class person():
    def __init__(self):
        self.height = 3.0
        self.weight = 240.0
        self.temp = 99.23

        self.attrlist = ['height', 'weight', 'temp']

    def grow(self):
        rand_attr = random.choice(self.attrlist)
        attr_value = getattr(self, rand_attr)
        setattr(self, rand_attr, attr_value + 26.0)
