Create Squirtle

Unit 5 Session 1 (Click for link to problem statements)

U-nderstand

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

  • What steps are necessary to create an instance of a class and use its methods?
    • First, create an instance by providing the required attributes.
    • Second, use the class methods by calling them on the instance.

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Instantiate an object of the class Pokemon and then call a method on this instance to perform an action.

1) Create an instance named `squirtle` with name "Squirtle" and types ["Water"] using the Pokemon class constructor.
2) Call the `print_pokemon()` method on the `squirtle` instance to display the properties of the Pokemon.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Incorrect instantiation of the object without passing all required parameters to the constructor.
  • Forgetting to call the method on the object.

I-mplement
