What is the purpose of self?

Question

when do we use self in Python? In ruby we don't need to include this whereas in Python we have to, so it's clear it specifies an object created in some class, For instance check this, class myClass def myFunc(AT) @At = AT end end But in Python I've to do this: class myClass: def myFunc(self, AT): self.AT = AT Can someone explain me this? Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

Check this example: class X: foo = [] q, w = X(), X() q.foo.append(1) w.foo ans: [1] class X: def __init__(self): self.foo = [] q, w = X(), X() q.foo.append(1) w.foo ans: [] Hence, It's clear from above that Self refers to object itself. Happy Learning...!!
