Your First Method

Question

I'm not sure what else it is asking me to do. I've ran this code in workshop and it prints exactly what it asked me to print.

Also, I'm sure there is a simpler way of coding this (I think my code is a little long). Can someone help with that as well? Thanks!

first_class.py

class Student:
    name = "Kyle"

    def praise(self):
        print("You're doing a great job, {}".format(self))

Student.praise(Student.name)

Be careful about testing a challenge in an external REPL or IDE.

If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.

In this case, the challenge doesn't ask you print anything. It does ask you to return the formatted string, and you haven't done that yet.

Also, it says you should return a message "which includes the name attribute".

Finally, you won't need to call the method yourself, the challenge will do that.

class Student: name = "Kyle"

def praise(self):
    return "You're doing a great job, {}".format(self.name)

This worked now, thanks Steven.
