Question

I am trying to pass a variable from a function to a class. Example code is below:

def hello(var):

    return var

class test():
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def value(self):
        print var

hello(var)
test = test()
test.value()

I would like to pass var into the class test().

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

You need to modify your class like this:

class test():
    def __init__(self, var):
        self.var = var

    def value(self):
        print self.var

test_inst = test(var)
test_inst.value()

Also, you cannot use the same exact name to refer to both class instance and a class itself.
