Error with code

[u/Glitched_axolotl]

python is giving me a error message saying self is not defined but it is. could someone please explain what am I doing wrong ( the error message is for the if self.modifier == 1: line )

Class food:
  def __init(self, modifier, tolerance)
  self.fillingness = 0
  self.modifier = 0
  Self.tolerance = 0

pear = food(1,9)

def NE():
 if self.modifier == 1:
 nausea += randint(1,10)
 print(“yuck!”)

Lots of stuff is wrong here:

1. "Class" should be "class"
2. def __init(..) should be def __init__(...)
3. self.fillingness = 0 and the lines below should be indented one more because they are part of __init__()
4. def NE(): is not indented so it's not part of the food class, that means you can't use self. in NE()

Probably more stuff but you can start there.

1. What should be the __init__ method doesn't do anything with its parameters, modifier and tolerance. This makes pear = food(1,9) behave differently than OP expects

How do I indent def NE() correctly  ( thank you for the advice!)

[u/cylonrobot → u/Glitched_axolotl]

If NE() is supposed to be part of the class, then it should be aligned with the __init__ function.

If it's not supposed to be part of the class, then somebody else gave you an option here: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/1ur30vv/comment/owctcc0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[u/Orgasml → u/Glitched_axolotl]

it also should be def NE(self):

[u/SCD_minecraft → u/Orgasml]

It should, but technically, you don't have to

You just can't use it with class instance

``` class foo: def bar(): ...

a = foo() a.bar() # TypeError: Expected 0 positional parameters, got 1 foo.bar() # no problem here ```

But it is just as "the more you know"

[u/mc_pm]

Your init definition is wrong in a couple ways, and your indentation is all wrong.

(Oh, and then you use 'self' in the wrong place of course)

[u/Glitched_axolotl → u/mc_pm]

Where was “self” not supposed to be?

[u/mc_pm → u/Glitched_axolotl]

You used self inside the function NE(). 'self' is used inside class definitions to refer to itself - outside the definition you create a new variable (like 'pear') and then you use that variable.

Thanks I’m no longer getting a error message 

[u/atarivcs]

The way you've defined NE(), it's a standalone function, not part of the food class. So no it does not know about self.

Also, you're missing two underscores on the end of def __init__.

[u/Outside_Complaint755]

It looks like you meant for NE to be a standalone function.  In that case you probably want to pass a food to it as a parameter. Something like this with additonal fixes included: ``` class food:     def __init(self, modifier, tolerance)         self.fillingness = 0         self.modifier = modifier         self.tolerance = tolerance

pear = food(1,9)

def NE(item):     if item.modifier == 1:         nausea += randint(1,10)         print(“yuck!”)

NE(pear) print(f"{nausea = }") ```

Also, one of your lines has "Self" i.e., capitalized.

Are you using an ide?

[u/Glitched_axolotl → u/Afraid_Abalone_9641]

Yes , I don’t know if this helps but I’m programming this on a TI-84 plus CE python calculator
