Question

Hi I am trying to write a method that prints a list of locations of the employees which report into a manager. The manager object is created and holds a list of ldaps (id’s) for the people who report to the manager.

How do I iterate through all employee objects – in this case 3 employees that have been created? The GetLocations method below only prints the managers location. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I would like to have an output that says: Dublin, Dublin New York (formatting is irrelevant)

class Employee(object):
  def __init__(self, ldap, name, location, salary, status):
    self.ldap = ldap
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
    self.salary = salary
    self.status = status

class Manager(Employee):
  def __init__(self, ldap, name, location, salary, status, reportees):
    self.name = name
    self.reportees = reportees
    self.location = location
    print 'Manager has been created.'


  def GetLocations(self):
    for location in [Employee]:
      print Employee.location

employee1 = Employee('axlr', 'Axl Rose', 'Dublin', 50000, 'active')
employee2 = Employee('slash', 'Slash', 'Dublin', 50000, 'active')
employee3 = Employee('peterp', 'Peter Pan', 'New York', 50000, 'active')
manager1 = Manager('wayneg', 'Wayne Gretzky', 'Dublin', 50000, 'active', ['axlr', 'slash', 'peterp'])

Answer 1

I would add a static list of locations to the Employeeclass:

class Employee(object):
  locations = []
  def __init__(self, ldap, name, location, salary, status):
    self.ldap = ldap
    self.name = name
    self.location = location
    self.locations.append(location)
    self.salary = salary
    self.status = status

employee1 = Employee('axlr', 'Axl Rose', 'Dublin', 50000, 'active')
employee2 = Employee('slash', 'Slash', 'Dublin', 50000, 'active')
employee3 = Employee('peterp', 'Peter Pan', 'New York', 50000, 'active')
print Employee.locations
