My code is
class GuessPassword(object):
def generate_Parent(self,length):
genes= []
while len(genes) < length:
sampleSize = min(length -
len(genes),len(self.__class__.geneSet))
genes.extend(random.sample(self.__class__.geneSet,
sampleSize))
return ''.join(genes)
In My main method
if __name__ == '__main__':
random.seed()
bestparent = self.generate_Parent( len(target))
and it's giving the error "NameError: name 'self' is not defined". And when I ran it without "self" it gave the error "NameError: name 'generate_Parent' is not defined".
I know it's a small issue. But I searched and couldn't find a solution. Any help would be great.
You use self out of the class, also you need to make an object of the GuessPassword class, if you want to use class methods.
if __name__ == '__main__':
random.seed()
# bestparent = self.generate_Parent( len(target)) # here is error
# make object of a class
guess = GuessPassword()
# remove `self` because you are not in a class, and use object instance
bestparent = guess.generate_Parent( len(target))
