The Heart | The Architect

Phase 2: The Heart.

The Golem stands still. It looks perfect, but it does nothing. It's just a statue.

Life is unpredictable. To bring it to life, we need to inject a bit of Chaos (Randomness) into its core.

The `work` Method

We will teach the Golem to work(). But work is tiring, and sometimes it's harder than others. We'll use the random module to simulate this unpredictability.

import random

# ... inside class ...
  def work(self):
      # Lose between 5 and 15 energy
      loss = random.randint(5, 15)
      self.energy -= loss
      print(self.name + " works hard!")

Import Chaos

At the very top, import random.

Define work()

Inside the class, add a new method work(self).

Drain Energy

Inside work:

Calculate loss = random.randint(5, 15).
Subtract loss from self.energy.
Print something like "... is working...".

Self-Modification: Notice how the object modifies itself (self.energy -= ...). This is the power of OOP—objects maintain their own state!

Suggested Solution

Solution:

import random

class Golem:
  def __init__(self, name):
      self.name = name
      self.energy = 100

  def work(self):
      loss = random.randint(5, 15)
      self.energy -= loss
      print(self.name + " is working hard!")

# Test drive with random
bob = Golem("Bob")
bob.work()
print(bob.energy)
