Python 解释器错误，x 不带参数（给出 1 个）

Question

I'm writing a small piece of python as a homework assignment, and I'm not getting it to run! I don't have that much Python-experience, but I know quite a lot of Java. I'm trying to implement a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, and here's what I have:

class Particle:    

    def __init__(self,domain,ID):
        self.ID = ID
        self.gbest = None
        self.velocity = []
        self.current = []
        self.pbest = []
        for x in range(len(domain)):
            self.current.append(random.randint(domain[x][0],domain[x][1])) 
            self.velocity.append(random.randint(domain[x][0],domain[x][1])) 
            self.pbestx = self.current          

    def updateVelocity():
    for x in range(0,len(self.velocity)):
        self.velocity[x] = 2*random.random()*(self.pbestx[x]-self.current[x]) + 2 * random.random()*(self.gbest[x]-self.current[x]) 


    def updatePosition():    
        for x in range(0,len(self.current)):
            self.current[x] = self.current[x] + self.velocity[x]    

    def updatePbest():
        if costf(self.current) < costf(self.best):
            self.best = self.current        

    def psoOptimize(domain,costf,noOfParticles=20, noOfRuns=30):
        particles = []
        for i in range(noOfParticles):    
            particle = Particle(domain,i)    
            particles.append(particle)    

        for i in range(noOfRuns):
            Globalgbest = []
            cost = 9999999999999999999
        for i in particles:    
        if costf(i.pbest) < cost:
                cost = costf(i.pbest)
            Globalgbest = i.pbest
            for particle in particles:
                particle.updateVelocity()
                particle.updatePosition()
                particle.updatePbest(costf)
                particle.gbest = Globalgbest    


        return determineGbest(particles,costf)

Now, I see no reason why this shouldn't work. However, when I run it, I get this error:

"TypeError: updateVelocity() takes no arguments (1 given)"

I don't understand! I'm not giving it any arguments!

Thanks for the help,

Answer 1

Python implicitly passes the object to method calls, but you need to explicitly declare the parameter for it. This is customarily named self :

def updateVelocity(self):

Answer 2

Make sure, that all of your class methods ( updateVelocity , updatePosition , ...) take at least one positional argument, which is canonically named self and refers to the current instance of the class.

When you call particle.updateVelocity() , the called method implicitly gets an argument: the instance, here particle as first parameter.

Answer 3

Your updateVelocity() method is missing the explicit self parameter in its definition.

Should be something like this:

def updateVelocity(self):    
    for x in range(0,len(self.velocity)):
        self.velocity[x] = 2*random.random()*(self.pbestx[x]-self.current[x]) + 2 \
          * random.random()*(self.gbest[x]-self.current[x])

Your other methods (except for __init__ ) have the same problem.

Answer 4

I have been puzzled a lot with this problem, since I am relively new in Python. I cannot apply the solution to the code given by the questioned, since it's not self executable. So I bring a very simple code:

from turtle import *

ts = Screen(); tu = Turtle()

def move(x,y):
  print "move()"
  tu.goto(100,100)

ts.listen();
ts.onclick(move)

done()

As you can see, the solution consists in using two (dummy) arguments , even if they are not used either by the function itself or in calling it! It sounds crazy, but I believe there must be a reason for it (hidden from the novice!).

I have tried a lot of other ways ('self' included). It's the only one that works (for me, at least).
