PCAP Exam - Question 32


The first parameter of each method:

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

In Python, methods are functions defined within a class and are associated with objects instantiated from that class. The first parameter of each method within a class holds a reference to the instance of the class that calls the method. This reference allows the method to access and modify the attributes and behavior of the object. By convention, this parameter is named 'self'. Therefore, the correct answer is that the first parameter of each method holds a reference to the currently processed object.

Answer is A. The first argument of every class method, including init, is always a reference to the current instance of the class. By convention, this argument is always named self. In the init method, self refers to the newly created object; in other class methods, it refers to the instance whose method was called

A. holds a reference to the currently processed object In Python, methods are functions that are defined inside a class and are associated with objects of that class. When a method is called on an object, the first parameter of the method holds a reference to the object on which the method is called, and is typically named self. This allows the method to access and modify the attributes and behavior of the object, as well as to call other methods on the same object.
