I am just trying to get a program that receives a point from one class, and then in another class, it uses that point as the center of the circle. I imagine this is simple but I don't know how to do it.
class Point:
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
class Circle(Point):
def circle(self, center, radius):
Point.x = center
Point.y = center
self.radius = radius
You shouldn't subclass Point for your Circle class, it doesn't make much sense as they are two completely different things. Instead you can take a Point as the center of your circle and pass it into the Circle class in the init
class Circle(object):
def __init__(self, center: Point, radius):
self.center = center
self.radius = radius
The way you are doing it, with inheritance, is a bit confusing.
2 options are avalaible.
First : As mention by @Iain Shelvington, you could use the Point class as a member of your Circle class.
Second : If you really want to sub class it / inherit from the point in your circle, you have to super.init() it.
class Circle(Point):
def __init__(self, x, y, radius):
super().__init__(x, y) # which is the same as creating a self.x and y for Circle
self.radius = radius
