__init__ Parameters

For the A paraemters that are assigned to init are they just incase the user doesn't input any arguments when they call the class?

import random


class Die:
    def __init__(self, sides=2, value=0)

When you assign a value to an argument in a method it becomes a default value. So the method call can omit them and still have an argument. I hope that helps.

That's right, the default values will be used if the arguments are omitted in the call.
