Question

## python oop creating a large number of instances

## im trying to create a large number of instances for a class. could you show me a way to make it work
import math
import random
class soldiers:

def __init__(self,x,y):
self.x = x
self.y = y

def get_target(self,x,y,number_red_soldiers,number_blue_soldiers):
pass
# self.target =

def aiming_angle(self,x,y,target,enemy_x,enemy_y):
dy = self.y-enemy_y[target]
dx = self.x-enemy_x[target]
angle =math.atan(dy/dx)

a = 0
number_blue_soldiers= 10
number_red_soldiers = 10
for i in range(number_blue_soldiers):
blue_x = random.randint(0,100,10)
blue_y = random.randint(0,100,10)
for i in range(number_red_soldiers):
red_x = random.randint(0,100,10)
red_y = random.randint(0,100,10)

for i in range(number_of_blue_soldiers): ### here im trying to create a lot of instances
bluesoldier+str(i)= soldiers(blue_x[i],blue_y[i]) # i want to instance 10 soldiers called bluesoldier1 bluesoldier bluesoldier3 bluesoldier4 etc.....
while a < 99999:
print(bluesoldier1.x) ### and print soldier 1's x position

Answer 1

import math
import random
class soldiers:

        def __init__(self,x,y):
                self.x = x
                self.y = y

        def get_target(self,x,y,number_red_soldiers,number_blue_soldiers):
                pass
                # self.target =

        def aiming_angle(self,x,y,target,enemy_x,enemy_y):
                dy = self.y-enemy_y[target]
                dx = self.x-enemy_x[target]
                angle =math.atan(dy/dx)

a = 0
number_blue_soldiers= 10
number_red_soldiers = 10

blue_x = []
blue_y = []
red_x = []
red_y = []
for i in range(number_blue_soldiers):
        blue_x.append(random.randint(0,100))
        blue_y.append(random.randint(0,100))

for i in range(number_red_soldiers):
        red_x.append(random.randint(0,100))
        red_y.append(random.randint(0,100))

# You can not create the variables as bluesoldier1, bluesoldier2 dynamically,
# rather you need to put them in a list
blueSoldiers = []
redSoldiers = []
for i in range(number_blue_soldiers): 
        newBlueSoldier = soldiers(blue_x[i],blue_y[i])
        blueSoldiers.append(newBlueSoldier)

for i in range(number_red_soldiers): 
        newRedSoldier = soldiers(red_x[i],red_y[i])
        redSoldiers.append(newRedSoldier)

# Now print blue soldiers position
for b in blueSoldiers:
        print(b.x, b.y)

please upvote. Thanks!
