limit for a calculation in defining class

[python101]

[code=python]

class Calulation:
def __init__(self, a, b, c)
self._a =a
self._b =b
self._c =c

def __ result
x=self._a*self. _b - self._b+ self._c
[/code]
If I don't want x <0 what would I do, for example if x=-1, then x automatically = 0

i think this is what you want...:

[code=python]if x < 0:
x = 0[/code]

[code=python]

class Calulation:
def __init__(self, a, b, c)
self._a =a
self._b =b
self._c =c

def __ result
x=self._a*self. _b - self._b+ self._c
[/code]
If I don't want x <0 what would I do, for example if x=-1, then x automatically = 0

Better sample code, next time, please. Here's a clean way to put the test and the assignment on one line:[CODE=python]
class Calculation:
def __init__(self, a, b, c):
self._a = (a, 0)[a < 0]
self._b = (b, 0)[b < 0]
self._c = (c, 0)[c < 0]

def result(self):
x=self._a*self. _b - self._b+ self._c

c = Calculation(1, -2, 3)
print c._b[/CODE]
