[Tutor] assign all parameters of __init__ to class variables?

[Alex Hall]

Thanks to both of you, that will work. I can see the argument for
assigning everything manually, but I have each parameter on its own
line with a comment to explain what it does, and I know I want all
parameters to be class-level for every instantiation, so saying
"self.[varName]=[varName]" twenty times seems like a waste of time and
space.
