Call a class function in Python

Question

I am trying to call a function of a class in python but when i am trying to access the function i am unable to do that. I have started learning Python so i am not able to figure out what wrong i am doing here. Below is the python code:

class Person:
 def __init__(self, name, age):
 self.name = name
 self.age = age
 def myfunc(self):
 print("Hello my name is " + self.name)
 print(self.name + " Age is :" + str(self.age))
 def addData(self):
 print("Print hello..!!!")
 p1 = Person("TestName", 36)
 p1.myfunc();
 p1.addData();

I want to print the age and name of the person but i am not getting any error or outpout.

• Thierry Lathuille: The last three lines shouldn't be indented, they are at the moment part of addData

Answer 1

I reformatted your code and it works:

class Person:
 def __init__(self, name, age):
 self.name = name
 self.age = age
 def myfunc(self):
 print("Hello my name is " + self.name)
 print(self.name + " Age is :" + str(self.age))
 def addData(self):
 print("Print hello..!!!")
p1 = Person("TestName", 36)
p1.myfunc()
p1.addData()

Remember than in Python identation is very important, and also ; is not needed at the end of lines. In python, the semicolon is used to put several Python statements on the same line, for instance:

print(x); print(y); print(z)

• Developer: thanks for the answer, do you know any good tutorial from where I can learn Python
• Mikael Brenner: @Developer Codecademy has a good starter course, it won't teach you programming, but it will teach you Python syntax and structure quite well
• Pau: Codeacademy Python 2 course it's free and really helpful to know the basics. This course introduced me to programming so yes I recommend it very much ;)

You should instantiate an instance of the class outside the class block:

class Person:
 def __init__(self, name, age):
 self.name = name
 self.age = age
 def myfunc(self):
 print("Hello my name is " + self.name)
 print(self.name + " Age is :" + str(self.age))
 def addData(self):
 print("Print hello..!!!")
p1 = Person("TestName", 36)
p1.myfunc()
p1.addData()
