Class, object question.

[Jeffrey Maitland]

Hello folks, 

 

The question I am having is something like this. 

 

# ignore the precursing ..  I am using them for easy message formatting

 

from point import *

 

Class vector(point): 

..........def __init___(self, point1, point2):

.......self.i = point2.get_x() - point1.get_x()

.......self.j = point2.get_y() - point1.get_y()

.......self.k =  point2.get_z() - point1.get_z()

 

# methods of vector. Defined here. 

 

What I am wondering is if I have a 2nd init  or something similar to
create a vector. Such as what follows and if I can how do I go about
implementing it?

 

Class vector(point): 

..........def __init___(self, point1, point2):

.......self.i = point2.get_x() - point1.get_x()

.......self.j = point2.get_y() - point1.get_y()

.......self.k =  point2.get_z() - point1.get_z()

.

..........def __init___(self, i, j, k):

.......self.i = i

.......self.j = j

.......self.k = k

 

That way I can define a vector either using 2 points or if I have the
vector data itself?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Jeff
