I am trying to understand how special methods work.
Ex:
class now:
def _init_(self):
self.t =3D time.time()
self.year, \
self.month, \
self.day, \
self.hour, \
self.minute, \
self.second, \
self.dow, \
self.doy, \
self.dst =3D time.localtime(self.t)
I don't know if I got it right, but I think the function is passing data =
to each variable, t; year; month; etc. It's unpacking the tuple. I'm =
not sure I understand how this bit of code is working. The self =
arguement is allowing the function to pass data right?
I'd much appreciate any assistance.
