The interpreter is showing wrong message

I keep getting error - Oh No fro forgot the self attribute in praise method. Although the self attribute is clearly there. I ran the same code on actual python interpreter and it works fine.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Sid"

    def praise(self):
        print("Great Job", self.name)

Hi there,

You need to return the string, not print it:

class Student:
    name = "Your Name"
    def praise(self):
        return "Great Job, " + self.name

I added the strings together, you could use {} too.

Steve.
