Python variable declaration

i’m new to python, and i wonder how to put a proper “empty” variables into classes.

For example, in C++, I can put variables like:

public class employee{
private:
int ID;
string name;
public:
.....
}

In python, how do I setup the name and the id without giving them values?? Is it something like:

class employee:
__name__
__id__
...

Also, is it possible to set the data type for each variables?

Answer 1

It’s true that you can’t really do that, but here’s what you can do:

class FooBar:
    def __init__(self):
        self.whatever = None

Also, no need to declare datatypes in Python. That’s the whole point of a dynamic language!

Don’t write python with a C++ accent. Write python the way it was designed and you’ll be a lot happier.
