Python Methods and self

This Video Tutorial looks at a Python method and how it is added to a class. It also considers the formal parameter self.

I have been learning to program for 2 years, and until this video I had only grasped 50% of what "self" actually meant. I deeply appreciate all the tutors I have been learning under, however, this video shows that abstract concepts can be taught with minimal complexity and teaching isn't a skill everyone truly posses. Thank you, John.

I feel obligated to comment on this video due to its quality. I wasn't able to understand "self" before watching this video and I've been programming in and learning Python for almost a year. Moreover, I love the way this video is formatted and how this concept is explained. It's wonderfully easy to understand. I've liked and favorited this video and subscribed to the channel. Thanks for clearing this up for me!!

I actually finally understand what self even means. Printing the id of self just solidified my understanding. YOU. ARE. AN. AMAZING. TEACHER. I'm going to look through your videos from now on when I need to learn a concept. Simply amazing!

I think its funny, how there are other "Python Instructional Videos" that get like 500, 000 views. and all they do is have some entitled, millenial, bafoons repeat words like "Awesome", " Excited", "Super Cool" during their mediocre explanations. Its like most people want to "feel" like they are learning, without actually learning. These Videos are phenomenal, its literally like having a real tutor, and is designed for people ACTUALLY wanting to learn. It's Well organized and laid out. These are the best

This is the best understanding of self/this and any other explination of OOP programing i've ever even heard of...

The quality of the video, animation, editing and the python tutorial was way ahead of the time. Huge respect to you Phil!!

This one of the best explanations on the whole Internet. So clear and concise.

[InfraredVisuals]

The demonstration & the animated slides are so elegant and thus simple to understand. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for going over self in details. Makes complete technical sense now that I see it like this. Codecademy didn't really explain it at all.
You printing the ID also solidified it even more.
This really helped me so much.

I am amazed by the clarity of this video. This has gotta be the best explanation on self. Thank you!

[ibtesumrezaaninda]

This is undoubtedly the best explanation I have seen so far!! Hat's off! Lots of love and respect for you!

I've struggled with this particular concept since I started learning programming a few years ago. You just made it click. Thanks for the great video!

When compared to learning by reading a book and your videos, I can say these videos are awesome. The pictorial examples made it very easy to understand. Thanks a ton for the patience and effort in explaining the concepts so clearly.

Thank you for your videos, this is the first time I understand "self". A picture is worth a thousand words, and you have proven it video after video.

A teacher who knows in advance which questions can arise in the student's mind.... and removing that doubt also. Superb JPJ. Thanx

[kleiben]

I have been stuck on this concept for days and all other explanations do little to nothing to help clarify this concept. You have made it easy as pie. Well done and keep up your high quality content.
