Self is the convention name for the current instance that is being worked with. Return self basically returns the object that had its method called. Example: class A: def __init__(): # blah blah def fun(): return self obj = A() print(obj.fun()) # Outputs: <A object at someMemoryLocation>

class a: def q(firstarg): print(firstarg) @classmethod def w(firstarg): print(firstarg) @staticmethod def e(firstarg): print(firstarg) i = a() i.q() i.w() #a.w() i.e('abc') #a.e('abc')

Gami🇷🇴 but what is convention(in our case) and what current instance do you mean? And is self the method or what you mean when saying"returns the object that it had basically returns the object that had its method called"?
