Python - Encapsulation and Data Protection
Identify the issue in this code snippet:
class Example:
    def __init__(self):
        __value = 50
ex = Example()
print(ex.__value)
AMissing self parameter in __init__
BThe attribute __value is correctly defined and accessible
CThe attribute __value is local to __init__, not an instance attribute
DSyntax error due to double underscores
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check attribute definition

    Variable __value inside __init__ without self. is local to the method, not an instance attribute.
  2. Step 2: Accessing instance attribute

    Trying to access ex.__value fails because the instance has no such attribute.
  3. Final Answer:

    The attribute __value is local to __init__, not an instance attribute -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Instance attributes require self. prefix [OK]
Quick Trick: Attributes need self. to be instance variables [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming variables without self. are instance attributes
  • Confusing local variables with attributes
  • Thinking double underscores cause syntax errors
