Define a User class and create user objects

Step 0

Create a new python file and name it whatever you want. This is where you will write the code that follows.

Step 1

Make a class named User. Add the following attributes to your class (in the __init__() method):

• name
• email
• city
• state

Create two different user instances using your class and save them to variables (something like user1 and user2). When you run your file, it should print out info about each user like the following:

Anton lives in Durham, NC.
Cecil lives in San Francisco, CA.

Step 2

Add a __str__ method to your class that displays the identity and attributes of an instance when it is printed.

step 2 example

Say you have a Game class; the __str__ method could look like this (although there are lots of other options!):

def __str__(self):
    return f"<Game score={self.score} tries={self.tries}>"

If you print a game instance with that __str__() method (for example, print(game1)), the output should look like this:

<Game score=0 tries=8>

Step 3

Make a method named location that returns a string listing the user’s city and state (e.g., “Durham, NC”).

Step 4

Add an attribute called is_active to your class. This attribute should have a default value of True.

Then, make another method called deactivate that changes the value of the is_active attribute to False.

Create an instance of a user and test that it works. Try resetting the attribute to True using the assignment operator and checking the value again.

Step 5

Add an attribute called login_count that keeps a count of how many days in a row a user logs in. Its default value should be 0.

Add a method called increment_login_count that adds 1 to the login_count attribute each time it is called and returns the updated count.

Then add a method called reset_login_count that resets the count to 0.

Create an instance of a user and test that this works.
