Python: Write the definition of a class Counter containing

Python: Write the definition of a class Counter containing

Ok so I hate MPL with a passion, and this problem is exactly why. Heres the solution:

class Counter(object):

    counter = 0

    def __init__(self, counter = 0):
        self.__counter = counter

    def increment(self):
        self.__counter += 1

    def decrement(self):
        self.__counter -= 1

    def get_value(self):
        return self.__counter

Counter()

So really the only big error you made was not using localization: self.__counter

But what MPL wants is for you to add Counter() to the end of the assignment even though it does not indicate this or has it required it in previous assignments to this point. This post may be old but this problem is still present.

Proof of it being accepted here.
Proof of the same code being rejected

class Counter(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.counter = 0
    def increment(self):
        self.counter += 1
    def decrement(self):
        self.counter -= 1
    def get_value(self):
        return self.counter

They want you to type the code a certain way. Youre not necessarily wrong its just not what theyre looking for.

class Counter:
    def __init__(self, counter=0):
        self.__counter =counter

    def increment(self):
        self.__counter +=1

    def decrement(self):
        self.__counter -=1

    def get_value(self):
        return self.__counter
