Python’s self
Python methods (functions that are part of a class) have a special explicit parameter called self. Through self, methods can access class members (without a self parameter, the method is static (no access to instance variables)).
In most C languages, the “self” parameter is hidden (an implicit parameter), and is usually accessible through a reserved word (e.g this is C++ and C#).
Which is better? Python’s upfront approach is nice for beginners, but for experienced programmers, it creates some extra work.
