POTrouble with class inheritance - Python
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm fairly new to python and was having trouble with an inheritance classes. This is for an online introduction to computer programming class and I do not have the resources to figure out where I went wrong with my code. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>class Employee: def __init__(self, employeeName, employeeShift): self.__name = employeeName self.__number = employeeShift def set_name(self, nam): self.__name = nam def set__number(self, num): self.__number = num # Accessor methods def get_name(self): return self.__name def get_number(self): return self.__number # ProductionWorker class that inherited the Employee class class ProductionWorker(Employee): def __init__(self, shift, payRate): self.__shift_number = shift self.__pay_rate = payRate def set_shift_number(self, shift): self.__shift_number = shift def set_pay_rate(self, pay): self.__pay_rate = pay # Accessor methods def get_shift(self): return self.__shift def get_shift(self): if self.__shift_number = '1': s = 'Day shift' else self.__shift_number = '2': s = 'Night shift' return s def get_pay(self): return self.__pay def get_pay(self): if self.__pay_rate <= 5: p = 7.50 elif self.__pay_rate > 5 and self.__pay_rate <= 15: p = 13.50 else self.__pay_rate >= 20: p = 20 return p # main module def main(): # Prompts the user for employee name, shift and pay rate employeeName = raw_input("Please enter the employee name: ") print "Please enter which shift the employee works." employeeShift = input("1 for day shift, 2 for night shift: ") payRate = input("How long has the employee worked here? ") # Creates object of ProductionWorker worker = ProductionWorker(employeeName, employeeShift, payRate) # Displays information print "Employee name:", worker.get_name() print "Employee shift:", worker.get_shift() print "Employee pay rate:", worker.get_pay_rate() # calls main module main() </code></pre> <p>It tells me that there is a syntax error in the <code>ProductionWorker</code> class, under the <code>def get_shift()</code> where I have the <code>self.__shift_number = '1'</code>. I followed my professor's example, so I don't really understand this error.</p>
