Attribute Error

Question

Hello coders

I have a bit of an issue; Im trying to get used to code using OOP but I keep getting an, "Attribute error". I can't seem to find the error on my own. So if you see what the issue is, please let me know and I would be most grateful. My code is here:

class Ninjutsu:
def __init__ (self, colour, element, damage):
self.colour = colour
self.element = element
self.damage = damage
def lightning(self):
print("Zaapp!!")
print("Paralysis effect")
class Fire(Ninjutsu):
def fire(self):
print("Pffff")
print("Burn effect")

bolt = Ninjutsu("Blue", "Lightning", "10 Damage points")
print(bolt.damage)
bolt.lightning()
Fire_ball = Ninjutsu("Orange", "Fire", "9 Damage points")
print(Fire_ball.damage)
Fire_ball.fire()

Answer 1

Your Ninjutsu class doesn't have the fire method in it. Fire_ball is an instance of that class so Fire_ball.fire() gives an error (as that method doesn't exist).

Simply change the statement to

Fire_ball = Fire("Orange", "Fire", "9 Damaga points")

so now Fire_ball is an instance of the Fire class and thus has that fire() method.
