Returning error

I have tried return f'{self.name} {self.food}.' and I have also tried return f'{self.name} {Panda.food}.'

still returns an error

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'

    def __init__(self,name,age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age
    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        return f'{self.name} {Panda.food}.'

Hey Jose Perez Lopez 👋

There are 2 small issues here.

  1. You're missing the word "eats" in the middle of the string

  2. We should be using self.food instead

return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'

No worries at all. These challenges are SUPER specific on what they want. Unfortunately they're pretty difficult to go in and adjust too.

Anytime you see anything regarding what it wants as output in the challenge definitely keep an eye out for that, also, adding extra code that it doesn't ask for sometimes will trigger a fail.

But anytime you get stuck you can always post here in the forum and we'll help you out 😃👍
