" Run constructors" instead of the correct line - MaartenRo - Aug-28-2020

Hi,

I am trying to run this code. Somehow it shows " Run constructors" instead of the line " Hallo daar!". What am i doing wrong?

Any input is much appreciated!

class MyClass:
    Greeting = ""
    
    def __init__(self, Name="daar"):
        self.Greeting = Name + "!"
        
    def SayHello(self):
        print("Hallo {0}".format(self.Greeting))

>>> %Run constructors.py

For a start, there's only a class definition in that code; nowhere actually instantiated the class and calls the SayHello method. Secondly, in the second snippet it looks like you're trying to run the code from within a Python shell. That's not right either.

Thank you!

I added :

>>> MyInstance = MyClass()
>>> MyInstance.SayHello()

and now it works.
