    <p>I'm new to Python, and I need some help. I was writing a blackjack program as homework, and I think I may have it working, but whenever I run it, it complains that I have not provided anything for 'self'. I thought I didn't have to? Here is the full code:</p> <pre><code>class BlackjackPlayer: '''Represents a player playing blackjack This is used to hold the players hand, and to decide if the player has to hit or not.''' def __init__(self,Deck): '''This constructs the class of the player. We need to return the players hand to the deck, get the players hand, add a card from the deck to the playters hand, and to allow the player to play like the dealer. In addition to all of that, we need a deck.''' self.Deck = Deck self.hand = [] def __str__(self): '''This returns the value of the hand.''' answer = 'The cards in the hand are:' + str(self.hand) return(answer) def clean_up(self): '''This returns all of the player's cards back to the deck and shuffles the deck.''' self.Deck.extend(self.hand) self.hand = [] import random random.shuffle(self.Deck) def get_value(self): '''This gets the value of the player's hand, and returns -1 if busted.''' total = 0 for card in self.hand: total += card if total &gt; 21: return(-1) else: return(self.hand) def hit(self): '''add one card from the Deck to the player's hand.''' self.hand.append(self.Deck[0]) self.Deck = self.Deck[1:] print(self.hand) def play_dealer(self): '''This will make the player behave like the dealer.''' total = 0 for card in self.hand: total += card while total &lt; 17: BlackjackPlayer.hit() total += BlackjackPlayer[-1] print(self.hand) if self.hand &gt; 21: return -1 else: return total </code></pre> <p>When I run this, I get:</p> <pre><code>TypeError: get_value() missing 1 required positional arguments: 'self' </code></pre> <p>I would gladly appreciate any help, and this is my first time here, so I apologize if I broke the rules or something.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
