🔒 How do I organize my Resource class into my Drink Machine class?

Specifically, I have a Resource class and I'm trying to figure out how to have the Drink Machine class hold these resources, so that I can deduct which resource each item consumes when dispensing.

Is there any problem with that ?

[wraith mortar]

you would have to iterate the list of resources looking for the name of the resource you want to subtract from

then you can call your consume method

also 1 space indent is so cursed

I blame the new pastebin for that

list as in, [] and not {}? I was kinda hoping to just refer to keys but resources = {"water": water_resource} seems redundant, no?

@warped thicket That's the problem ☝️

[wraith mortar]

if you want to change the data structure, sure, you could make it a dict as well

[raven dock]

There's no way to just grab the Resource name as the key and then value of the Resource class in a dictionary for resources?

Maybe I'm overcomplicating this

[wraith mortar]

you could have that auto-setup inside the drink machine class, sure

[raven dock]

what do you mean?

ah... right. Make a new method that "deposits" resources into the machine.

OK yeah that makes sense

[wraith mortar]

class DrinkMachine:
    def __init__(self, items, resources):
         self.items = items
         self.resources = {}
         for resource in resources:
            self.resources[resource.resource_type] = resource

yeah exactly, something like this

but breaking this out into a separate method would be a great idea too

[raven dock]

ooh

Yeah I should have thought of that. Thanks @wraith mortar
