K said:I'm writing a class for rational numbers
and besides the most obvious constructor
def __init__ (self, nomin, denom):
i also wish to have two supporting ones
def __init__ (self, integ):
self.__init__ (integ, 1)
def __init__ (self):
self.__init__ (0, 1)
but for some reason (not known to me at
this point) i get errors. My suspicion is that it's a syntax issue.
Suggestions?
"errors" is not much of an error-description. That's what stacktraces
are for.
Apart from that, you won't succeed with the above. Python has no
signature-based polymorphism. Instead, you use default arguments, like this:
def __init__(nomin=0, denom=1):
...
That should suffice.
