Answer:
This is the instance method inc_num_kids()
def inc_num_kids(self):
self.num_kids += 1
Explanation:
The first line is the definition of function inc_num_kids() which has a parameter self. self is basically an instance of class PersonInfo
self.num_kids += 1 this statement incremented the data member num_kids by 1. This means that the instance method inc_num_kids, using instance self, increments the value of num_kids data member by 1.
The complete program is as following:
class PersonInfo: #class name PersonInfo
def __init__(self): #constructor of the class
self.num_kids = 0 # data member num_kids
def inc_num_kids(self): # method inc_num_kids
self.num_kids += 1 #increments num_kids by 1
person1 = PersonInfo() #creates object person of class PersonInfo
print('Kids:', person1.num_kids) # prints num_kids value before increment
person1.inc_num_kids() #calls inc_num_kids method to increment num_kids
print('New baby, kids now:', person1.num_kids) #prints the value of num_kids after increment by inc_num_kids method
The person1 object first access the initial value of num_kids initialized by the constructor. So the first value of num_kids is 0. self.num_kids = 0 This statement assigns the value 0 to num_kids data member. Next the method inc_num_kids() using the object person1. Now when this method is called the value of data member num_kids is incremented to 1.
So previously the value was 0 which now increments by 1 and becomes 1. Last print statement displays this new value which is incremented by the inc_num_kids() method.
Hence the output is:
Kids: 0
New baby, kids now: 1
The program along with its output is attached.
