Data Analysis Techdegree Student 16,258 PointsStuck on coding challenge
I know I am close but the challenge is telling me that I am getting an "ExceptionError: the 'praise' method is not defined". I tried calling the feedback method and I am still not making any progress. Please assist at your convenience. Thank you in advance.
class Student:
name = "Ricardo"
grade = 60
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 self.grade > 50:
praise()
else:
reassurance()

And remember that the challenge wants you to return the result of calling the other method!

Data Analysis Techdegree Student 16,258 PointsThanks Steven...I have found that knowing when to incorporate "self" takes some getting used to when working with classes. Thanks for your time.
