758 PointsCode output correct but quiz will not recognize it as correct.
My code outputs correctly.. if its above 50 we get praise msg and if 50 or below it gives reassurance message.. why is it not recognizing it as correct? help!
class Student:
def praise(self):
return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)
def reassurance(self):
return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)
def feedback(self, grade):
if int(grade) > 50:
return me.praise()
else:
return me.reassurance()
me = Student()
me.name = "Megan"
me.grade = 50
print(me.feedback(55))

Courses Plus Student 2,662 PointsYou were asked to create a method feedback, you don't have anything to do with the instance.
def feedback(self, grade):
if grade > 50:
return self.praise()
return self.reassurance()

If you created another student,
bob = Student()
bob.name="bob"
bob.feedback(55) #would actually praise Megan, not Bob
