Yet more __init__() techniques

We'll take a look at a few other, more advanced __init__() techniques. These aren't quite so universally useful as the techniques in the previous sections.

        self.bet_strategy = bet_strategy
        self.game_strategy = game_strategy
        self.table= table def game( self ): self.table.place_bet( self.bet_strategy.bet() ) self.hand= self.table.get_hand() if self.table.can_insure( self.hand ): if self.game_strategy.insurance( self.hand ): self.table.insure( self.bet_strategy.bet() ) # Yet more... Elided for ...
