Let's practice using @classmethod!
Create a class method in Letter named from_string that takes a string like "dash-dot" and creates an instance with the correct pattern (['_', '.']).
class Letter:
def __init__(self, pattern=None):
self.pattern = pattern
def __iter__(self):
yield from self.pattern
def __str__(self):
output = []
for blip in self:
if blip == '.':
output.append('dot')
else:
output.append('dash')
return '-'.join(output)
@classmethod
def from_string(cls,input_str):
pattern = []
split_input_str = input_str.split("-")
for i in split_input_str:
if i == 'dot':
return pattern.append(".")
elif i == 'dash':
return pattern.append("_")
return cls(pattern)
class S(Letter):
def __init__(self):
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
super().__init__(pattern)
