not sure why these 1 liners are always voted best practice. i think they are more so clever. still very nicely done! will take a half hour to study this now lol

IT WAS ALMOST TOO NUTTY FOR ME

study on what self does, and how instances of classes work

class RandomClass():
  def __init__(self, INPUT1, INPUT2, etc..):
    self.INPUT1 = INPUT1   # this takes the inputs and makes them part of the class..
    self.INPUT2 = INPUT2
    self.hiddendata = ["data", "accessed", "by", "entire", "class"] # data that is inate to the class
    
  def add(self, input1, input2):     #self here as well. so you can access self.hiddendata for example
    return self.hiddendata, input1 + input2

there is only 1 object tested. example:

x = Arith("five")
print(x.add("seven"))
this should return "twelve"

interesting! The behaviour of indexing helps :)

its a bit nutty..

xd

nice

Enjoyed this one!

man I was working on a similar solution that failed:

for letter in s:
if letter == "x" or "X":
sum += 1

Could you explain why my answer fails ?

I am guessing its because I cannot compare 2 values at the same time to an iterator (letter) ?

took me 8 hours to complete

Same ! :D

So you are saying, dont name variables, that are within a def, important names that have other uses? Example dont create a variable named Str, Int, Float etc
