Python Regular Expressions in Python Introduction to Regular Expressions Players Dictionary and Class

creating a class named player

Kind of lost here.

I was able to get the re.search(...) to work fine. Then the next step is to create a class and set the initial values to the same three groups.

when I attempt to have them set I get first_name has multiple values

Here is a copy of my code so far

class Player:
  def __init__(players):
    first_name = players.group('first_name')
    last_name = players.group('last_name')
    score = players.group('score')

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think my biggest issue is I don't know how the values are being passed in to the class.

Hi, Jeremy, I believe you overthink this problem, the solution is actually pretty simple.

class Player:
  def __init__(self, last_name, first_name, score):
    self.last_name = last_name
    self.first_name = first_name
    self.score = score

That worked. I think I need to study up on the classes a little bit. Thanks for the help.
