1,556 PointsEven after making a class called Panda with two attributes the output throws an error saying that self is not needed.
As you can see from the code I have created a class called Panda with two attributes called species and food, but the error says that self is not needed for instantiating an object of the class Panda.
class Panda:
species=Ailuropoda melanoleuca
food=bamboo

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsHey Ashish Anand, The "self" error is part of a larger generic error message and does not apply to your code.
The real error is plainly stated before this. The species
and food
are not defined because the assigned string values are not within quotation marks. This leads to a syntax error, so the entire code is non-functioning.
Remember to a space is expected before and after an '"=** sign.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!

Your right! I changed the variable assignment part with "" and with proper spacing. It worked!!
