Basic class for triangles

# Create a class, the blueprint for your object
class MyTriangle(object):
	
    # The __init__ function is called automatically when an object is created
	def __init__(self, base=0, height=0): # 0 for b & h if nothing is passed in
		self.base = base
		self.height = height
	
	def setBase( self, base ):
		self.base = base
        
	def getBase( self ):
		return self.base
		
	def setHeight( self, height ):
		self.height = height
	
	def getHeight(self):
		return self.height
    
	def getArea(self):
		area = self.base * self.height / 2
		return area

# Create instances of your object (the "houses" made from your blueprint :)

# METHOD 1: Create and then set values
# Create new empty (0 base, 0 height) triangle object
t1 = MyTriangle()
# Use methods to set base and height 
t1.setBase(10)
t1.setHeight(5.234)
print t1.getArea()

# METHOD 2: Pass base and height directly upon creating the object
t2 = MyTriangle(10,2.35)
print t2.getArea()

# Using the getters
print t2.getBase()
print t2.getHeight()
print t2.getArea()

# More useful example (the %5.4f means format as float value with up to 5 digits on the left and 4 after the decimal
print "Triangle with base %5.4f and height %5.4f has area %5.4f" % ( t2.getBase(), t2.getHeight(), t2.getArea() )
