def eat(self):

Hey chaou youva, good new and bad news.

  • Good news: youโ€™re very close. You need to add spaces around โ€œeatsโ€ because string concatenation doesnโ€™t automatically add spaces.
  • Bad news: the challenge checker is looking for an f-string or .format() string. It does not seem to accept string concatenation. [I will file a bug report]

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
