I'm just wondering why I cannot send values to methods in my class. The goal of the program is to use the getter/setter technique (not the @property one) and print clients in my csv file in alphabetical order. Next, there's gotta be another method that can add a client into the list and keep the list in alphabetical order. My confusion is how do I send the list values in these get/set methods and how would they be altered to put my file data in order:
L = []
F = []
G = []
A = []
class client ():
'''
A client class starts here to keep all the related ideas together.
Since we are more focused on object-orientied programming, it is
important that the code stays organized. A class will keep all related
objects together, making the code easier to understand from an outsider
perspective
'''
fh = open('client.csv', 'r')
#For loop is created to sift through each line obtaining each client's data
for line in fh:
'''
After numerous errors, I learned that a file object does not
contain a 'split'property. In this next bit of code, each
type of data is appended to the empty list and each line (which
is a string object) is split by commas.
'''
L.append(line.split(",")[0].lstrip(""))
F.append(line.split(",")[1])
G.append(line.split(",")[2])
A.append(line.split(",")[3].rstrip("\n"))
'''
The the square brackets contain the index of each data in each
line; L has [0] since the last name is the first word in the
csv file. Additionally it can be noticed that 'lstrip' and
'rstrip' methods were used. These methods were used to eliminate any
unnecessary characters that were printed with the output
'''
def __init__(self, L, F, G, A):
self.F = F
self.L = L
self.G = G
self.A = A
'''
Constructing function allows arguments to be
passed (automatically) onto any code outside the
class.
'''
def __del__(self):
pass
'''
This function will act as the destructor, and so
the file will destruct on its own when
