list of classes in python 3

Question

We can do something like below in C:

struct teams {
char team_name[100];
int team_point[100];
}
struct teams teams1[100];

We get array of struct in this way, is it somehow possible in Python? Thanks

• Tim Pietzcker: You don't need to do that in Python (it's dynamic!), but you can do it if you want to - what's your use case?
• Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams: Why would you have an array of points within the struct?
• Andrew Jaffe: It's not an array of structs, however, it's a struct of arrays.

Answer 1

class Team(object):
 def __init__(self, name, points):
 self.name = name
 self.points = points
teams = []
teams.append(Team('Chicago Bulls', [85, 75, 93, 10]))

Since Python is dynamic, nothing prevents you from assigning arbitrary values to object properties (object instances behave mostly like namespaces), but lacking a pedantic compiler screaming about type mismatches has some advantages.
