    def praise(self):
        print(" I REALLY LIKE OUR HAIR,{}".format(name))
from first_class import Student()
me=Student()
me.name="NIHAT"
print(me.praise())

Some hints:

  • no need to import since you are in the same file.
  • in fact you should remove all code from the import statement on down
  • your praise method should return the string not print it
  • In your praise method you will want to use the instance with name: self.name

even though the code below works at Workspace, the challange at the track constanly gives error"Oh no you have forgotten Self argument in your praise method". is there any error or is the just website's annoyance?

class Student: name = "Your Name" def praise(self): print("You are doing great {}",format(self.name)) me=Student() me.name="nikel" me.praise()
