I want to dealing entities with python. Each entity has several Attribute-Value pairs and several types. For example, "iPhone" as an entity, it has AV pairs as:
Developer, Apple Inc
CPU, Samsung
Manufacturer, Foxconn
and it has types as:
smartphone
mobilephone
telephone
I wish to define class
for the entity. However, I need to store the information of a 2-dimension vector, attribute-value pair
and a type
. But the code below does not work. So how can I define a good data structure for this kind of entity (perhaps without class
)?
class entity:
def __init__(self, type, av[]):
self.type=type
self.av[]=av[]
You have a syntax error in your code - you don't need []
anywhere in your class.
Below is an example where you could use list
for type information and dict
for attributes:
class Entity:
def __init__(self, types, attributes):
self.types = types
self.attributes = attributes
iphone = Entity(
types=['smartphone', 'mobilephone', 'telephone'],
attributes={
'Developer': ['Apple Inc'],
'CPU': ['Samsung'],
'Manufacturer': ['Foxconn', 'Pegatron'],
},
)
