Syntax error def__init__(self, rare=False)

[craigmrock]

Trying to make a class with the following line of code that pythonista doesn’t like but works fine in idle
def__init__(self, rare=False):
Why doesn’t this work here?

[dgelessus]

You're missing a space between the def and __init__.

If that doesn't fix the error, can you post your entire code? (Or if your code is very long, only a few lines before and after the syntax error.) Sometimes when Python finds a syntax error, the location that it shows you isn't exactly where you made the error. This can happen when you forget to close a parenthesis for example, depending on your code, Python might not notice the missing parenthesis until a few lines later.

@dgelessus thanks! That helped there. I got a new error message saying that
heads is not defined
At line 10, but I thought it was ok. There also appears to be errors at line 52 and 169 Here is my code below

import random

def init(self,rare=False, clean=True, **kwargs):
for key,value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,key,value)

	self.is_rare = rare
	self.is_clean = clean
	self.heads = heads
	
	if self.is_rare:
		self.value = self.original_value * 1.25
	else:
		self.value = self.original_value
		
	if self.is_clean:
		self.color = self.clean_color

In line 10, you wrote self.heads = heads, but you haven't set the variable heads anywhere. (heads and self.heads don't mean the same thing - and if they did, that assignment wouldn't do anything.) I can't help much with that - I don't see any other place in your code where a heads variable is used.

As for the other two errors - where did you get them from? Python doesn't usually give multiple errors at once. If you changed something in your code and that caused a different error, then it's helpful if you tell us what you changed. Also, always include the error message - just "line 52" doesn't tell us anything about what went wrong.

When you're posting code, it also helps if you put it in a code block, so the forum displays it as code and doesn't read it as formatted text. The easiest way to do that is with the "</>" button in the toolbar when you reply. You can also do it by hand, by putting a line with ``` (three backticks) before and after your code.

@dgelessus thanks again, I just deleted the heads line and it ran fine. I’ll be sure to include your reference tips in future posts too.

dgelessus - Good catch. I missed the missing space at first when I read the first post.

That is def__init__-ly the problem.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the bad pun.

In my defense, I would have tried to help too, but I just got here.
