Python Write Better Python Cleaner Code Function and Class Whitespace

It says to add the correct amount of whitespace, but also srepeatedly shows the “try again!” error.

What is wrong with my format? The errors aren’t necessarily coming back like “you have whitespace in this line” but more like “try again!”

starter.py
def first_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


def second_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


class MyClass:
        args = [1, 2, 3]


def class_func(self):
        return self.args

Hi Sathya Musanipalli 👋

You'll want to have a look at the placement of the class_func definition. In the provided code snippet it's a method in the MyClass class, in your solution code it's no longer nested in the class.

def first_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


def second_function(arg1):
    return 'arg1 is {}'.format(arg1)


class MyClass:
    args = [1, 2, 3]

    def class_func(self):
        return self.args
