Learn Special Methods by Building a Vector Space - Step 34

Tell us what’s happening:

how does this and why does this not work ?? i dont understand do i need to implement the dot method and how do i implement it if yes

Your code so far

class R2Vector:
    def __init__(self, *, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

    def norm(self):
        return sum(val**2 for val in vars(self).values())**0.5

    def __str__(self):
        return str(tuple(getattr(self, i) for i in vars(self)))

    def __repr__(self):
        arg_list = [f'{key}={val}' for key, val in vars(self).items()]
        args = ', '.join(arg_list)
        return f'{self.__class__.__name__}({args})'
    
    def __getattribute__(self, attr):                
        return 'calling __getattribute__'

class R3Vector(R2Vector):
    def __init__(self, *, x, y, z):
        super().__init__(x=x, y=y)
        self.z = z

v1 = R2Vector(x=2, y=3)
v2 = R3Vector(x=2, y=2, z=3)
# print(f'v1 = {v1}', f'\nrepr = {repr(v1)}')
# print(f'v2 = {v2}', f'\nrepr = {repr(v2)}')

# User Editable Region

print (getattr(v1,"x"))

# User Editable Region

Hi @Mr.Merati

Now, print the result of accessing the x attribute of v1 both with
the dot operator and ✗
the getattr() built-in function. ✓

You need two print calls.

Here is an article on dot notation you may find helpful.

Happy coding
