Python - Pass a variable to a function -

im curently learning python (2.7) using excellent tutorials http://www.learnpythonthehardway.org/

i trying make small text input game improve skills, part of trying add health meter main character. adding combat reduce health.

the below code designed set players health 100 @ start of each game, executing function "player_health" in class called "set_health"

class health():      def store_health(self):          d = set_health()         d.player_health()         local_health = d.player_health()          print "your health at", local_health, "%"         return local_health 

when below "punch_received" function executed, players health reduced 10

class combat():      def punch_received(self):          punch = 10          x = health()         x.store_health()         combat_health = x.store_health()          combat_health = combat_health - punch         print "you have been punched, health is", combat_health, "%" 

so far good. may not perfect or best methodology works base learn from.

my issue not know how how return/send value of "combat_health" variable e.g. "current_hero_health" in function.

class hero_health():      def current_hero_health(self):          # want store running total of heros health in here 

any appreciated. deepend

you make current_hero_health attribute of hero_health.

class hero_health():      def __init__(self, current_h):         self.current_hero_health = current_h      def current_hero_health(self):         self.current_hero_health = 3 ; # stored total of hero health 

you can access member method of class, self.current_hero_health, , stores global count object of class.

hope helps.
