The Right Name

Lesson 5 of 28 in Coddy's Clean Code - Write better code using Python course.

When choosing names you should always choose descriptive names that will make your code much more readable.

def foo(x):
	return x * 2

The following example is unclear and not so readable.

The right way,

def multiply_by_2(num):
	return num * 2

Now the code is clear even without reading it's body.

If it's possible and not necessary you should avoid one letter names like a, x, i and etc...

Challenge

Easy

When giving a right name to a function or class first you should understand what the purpose and what describes it best.

You are given a code - fix the names in this code!

First - understand what the purpose of each code chunk!

There are of course many possible answers but we are aiming for specific ones..

Try it yourself

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
    
    def bar(self, x, y):
        self.name = x
        self.age = y
    
    def p(self):
        print(f'My name is {self.name} and I\'m {self.age} years old')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    b = 'Bob'
    c = 32
    a = MyClass(b, c)
    a.bar(b, 33)
    a.p()
