Question

See more:

def obtain_type_player(self):
    '''
    This method will be used by the sub-classes PlayerHuman and PlayerComputer.

    Returns:
        Le type de player, 'Computer' or 'Human'
    '''



    return 'Human' or 'Computer'

I was wondering if this would return the rght thing for me or if i had to add some code.

What I have tried:

This is using Python OOP and since its linked to a lot of other method, im confused but im just here to make sure that this is the way to return it because its hard for me to test in my code in a way.

How can it decide which value to return? You need to add a decision statement (if) to select the correct answer. Something like:

Python

def obtain_type_player(self):
    type = "Computer" # the default answer
    if some_other_information is true:
        type = "Human"
    return type
