The aim of this exercise is to familiarise you with the use of objects within Python.
# Extending Mantid With Python: Exercise 1
#
# Write a Detector class contains two attributes id and name:
# - The attributes should be able to be set by a call like: Detector(1, "bank1_1").
# Write an an Instrument class with 2 attributes: name and list of detectors
# - These attributes should also be able to be set by a call like: Instrument('MyInst', dets)
# Add a method to the Instrument class called printTree that will print the names & ids of the detectors contained within it
#
# Write a class called Component that stores a single name attribute
# Reorganise the Instrument & Detector classes to use Component as a super class and share its name attribute
# Check the printTree method still functions correctly.
class Component(object):
name = None
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
