Why do I keep getting the error: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'subject'

Question

So I am creating a code what are the co requisites and which courses students can take next by specifying a specific course. For example, if the user inputs "ECE 256", then co requisites should be ECE 256L and the next class they can take is ECE 304.

List.print_list()

Answer 1

1. dataObj = currentNode.subject makes dataObj maybe an int, then dataObj.subject causes such an error. You may just want

   result = result + str(dataObj)
   

2. there are some needless code in you snippet, e.g.:

   node = Node(subject , corec ,None)
   node.subject = subject;
   node.corec = corec;
   

   the 2 latter lines are not necessary since you've already initialized node with subject and corec.
