Person.printAge()

Using a decorator instead:

from microbit import *
# import builtins

Person.printAge()

7.11. complex

class complex([real[, imag]]): Returns a complex number with a value of real + imag * 1J, or converts a string or number to a complex number.

If the first parameter is a character string, it is interpreted as a complex number and must be called without a second parameter.

The second parameter cannot be a character string.

Each argument can be of any numeric type (including complex numbers).

If imag is omitted, the default value is zero, and the constructor performs numerical conversion like int and float.

For floating-point numbers, the result is (q, a % b) , q is usually math.floor(a / b) but it might be smaller than 1. In any case, Q * B + a% B and a are basically equal; if a% B is not zero, Its symbol is the same as B, and 0 < = ABS (a% B) < ABS (b).

If the object is not an object of the given type, the function always returns false. Returns true if classInfo is a tuple of object type (or multiple recursion element groups), and if object is an instance of any of them. If classInfo is neither a type nor a type tuple or a recursive tuple of type, a typeError exception will be triggered.

isinstance() and type() differences

type() does not consider a subclass as a parent type, and does not consider inheritance.

7.45. open

open()

open() Method is used to open a file and return the file object. This function is required during the processing of the file. If the file cannot be opened, an oserror will be thrown. Note: used open() Method must close the file object, that is, call the close() method.

open() The common form of a function is to receive two parameters: file name and mode:

open(file, mode='r')

mode Is an optional string that specifies the mode of opening the file. The default value is ‘ r ‘ , which means it opens in text mode and reads. Other common modes are: write ‘w’ (Truncate existing files) ; Exclusive creation ‘x’ ; write to add ‘a’ (On some UNIX systems, no matter where the current file pointer is, all writes are appended to the end of the file) 。Available modes are:

Mode	Description
‘r’	Read (default)
‘w’	Write, and truncate the file first
‘x’	Exclusive creation, failure if file already exists
‘a’	Write, append at the end if the file exists
‘b’	binary mode
‘t’	Text mode (default)
‘+’	Update disk file (read and write)

The default mode is ‘r’ (Open and read text, same as ‘rt’). For binary write, Open ‘w+b’ mode and truncate file to 0 bytes; ‘r+b’ Will not be truncated。

7.46. ord

    @x.deleter
    def x(self):
        del self._x

7.50. range

range()

range() the function returns an iterable object (the type is an object), not a list type, so the list will not be printed when printing.

7.54. set

set() Function to create an unordered and unrepeatable element set, which can be used for relationship testing, deletion of duplicate data, and calculation of intersection, subtraction, union, etc

x = set(‘runoob’) y = set(‘google’) x, y

({‘b’, ‘u’, ‘n’, ‘o’, ‘r’}, {‘e’, ‘l’, ‘g’, ‘o’}) # Deleted duplicate
x & y # intersection

{‘o’}
x | y # union

{‘e’, ‘u’, ‘o’, ‘n’, ‘r’, ‘l’, ‘g’, ‘b’}
x - y # subtraction

{‘b’, ‘u’, ‘n’, ‘r’} >

7.55. setattr

setattr(object, name, value)

setattr() Function corresponding Function getattr(), Used to set the value of a property that does not necessarily exist.

Assign values to existing properties:

     class A(object):
...     bar = 1
...
      a = A()
      getattr(a, 'bar')          # get attribute bar value
 1
      setattr(a, 'bar', 5)       # set attribute bar value
      a.bar
 5

If the property does not exist, a new object property will be created and assigned:

     class A():
...     name = "runoob"
...
      a = A()
      setattr(a, "age", 28)
      print(a.age)
 28

7.56. slice

class slice

7.57. sorted

sorted(iterable, *, key=None, reverse=False)

Sort all objects that can be iterated

iterable – Iterable object.
key – It is mainly used to compare elements with only one parameter. The parameters of specific functions are taken from the iterable objects, and one element of the iterable objects is specified for sorting.
reverse – collation, reverse=True descending order , reverse=False ascending order (default) 。

sorted the easiest way to use:

    sorted([5, 2, 3, 1, 4])
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]                      # ascending order as default

Using key to sort in reverse order:

    example_list = [5, 0, 6, 1, 2, 7, 3, 4]
     result_list = sorted(example_list, key=lambda x: x*-1)
     print(result_list)
[7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

To reverse sorting, also by passing into the third parameter:

    example_list = [5, 0, 6, 1, 2, 7, 3, 4]
     sorted(example_list, reverse=True)
[7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0]

7.58. staticmethod

@staticmethod

Method to convert to static method.

Static methods do not receive the first implicit parameter. To declare a static method, use this syntax:

class C:
    @staticmethod
    def f(arg1, arg2,...):...

Static method calls can be made on a class (such as C.f()) It can also be done on the instance (such as C().f())。

7.59. str

class str

Function to convert an object to a str object。

    s = 'w3cschool'
     str(s)

7.60. sum

     sum([0,1,2,3,4], 2) # Add 2 after calculating the sum of the list.
12

7.61. super

super()

super() Function is a method used to call the parent class (superclass)。

class A:
    def add(self, x):
        y = x+1
        print(y)
class B(A):
    def add(self, x):
        super().add(x)
b = B()
b.add(2)  # 3

7.62. tuple

     tuple1=tuple(list1)
     tuple1
('Google', 'Taobao', 'Runoob', 'Baidu')

7.63. type

type()

type() Function returns the type of object if ave only the first argument, Three parameters return the new type object.

type(object)
type(name, bases, dict)
- name – Name of the class.
- bases – Tuple of base class.
- dict – Dictionaries, namespace changes defined within classes.

Hint

isinstance() 与 type() differences

type() The subclass is not considered as a parent type, and inheritance is not considered.
isinstance() The subclass is considered as a type of parent class, and inheritance relationship is considered.

To judge whether two types are the same, recommended to use isinstance()。

      type(1)
 <type 'int'>
      type('runoob')
 <type 'str'>
      type([2])
 <type 'list'>
      type({0:'zero'})
 <type 'dict'>
      x = 1
      type( x ) == int    # Judge whether the types are equal
 True

 # Three parameters
      class X(object):
...     a = 1
...
      X = type('X', (object,), dict(a=1))  # Generate a new type X
      X
 <class '__main__.X'>

type() and isinstance() differences:

class A:
    pass
s
class B(A):
    pass

isinstance(A(), A)    # returns True
type(A()) == A        # returns True
isinstance(B(), A)    # returns True
type(B()) == A        # returns False

7.64. zip

zip([iterable, ...])

zip() The function is used to package the iteratable objects as parameters, pack the object corresponding elements into tuples, and then return the objects composed of these tuples. The advantage of this is that it saves a lot of memory.

We can use the list() transformation to output the list. If the number of elements of each iterator is different, the length of the returned list is the same as that of the shortest object. Using the * operator, the tuple can be decompressed into a list.

    a = [1,2,3]
     b = [4,5,6]
     c = [4,5,6,7,8]
     zipped = zip(a,b)     # Return an object
     zipped
<zip object at 0x103abc288>
     list(zipped)  # list() convert to list
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
     list(zip(a,c))              # The number of elements is consistent with the shortest list
[(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]

     a1, a2 = zip(*zip(a,b))          # 与 zip 相反, zip(*) It can be understood as decompression, returning to two-dimensional matrix
     list(a1)
[1, 2, 3]
     list(a2)
[4, 5, 6]
