That line creates a class (i.e. "static") variable, which is unlikely
to be what you want. Instance variables are normally created in the
body of an __init__() method.

Python is not Java (or similar). To refer to instance variables, you
must explicitly use `self`; i.e. use "self.c[0] = 15" in add().
I would recommend reviewing the relevant section of the Python tutorial:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/classes.html
