I’m learning about object-oriented programming in Python, and I keep seeing the self
keyword in class methods. I know it’s used to refer to the instance of the object, but I’m still a bit confused about its purpose. Can someone explain in simple terms why it’s necessary and what would happen if we didn’t use self
?
