This one why it's not working?

In pycharm it's working perfectly, i even reduced the lines still not working

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Oszkar"

    def praise(self):

        return print("You're doing a great job "+self.name)
me = Student()
me.praise()

Hi there! It's not about reducing the lines, it's about following the instructions and not doing things they don't ask for. Just because code works outside of the challenge does not mean it will meet the challenges requirements.

Also, you're returning a call to the print method, instead of returning a string value. Take a look at your edited code that passes and see if you can see the difference between what you're doing and what the challenge has asked you to do. I cannot stress enough how important following instructions to the letter is going to be in going forward through these challenges.

class Student:
    name = "Oszkar"

    def praise(self):
        return "You're doing a great job "+self.name

Note the removal of the creation of instances of Student and the removal of the print method.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Rayan White there's absolutely no need to be sorry! Most of us on here absolutely love answering questions. Seriously. I even asked a question today on the forums! The Community is an amazing place to get help. I'd be willing to bet that 99.9% of us didn't understand something the first time around :smiley:

P.S. I answer coding questions because it's not only fun, it's a great way to learn! There's nothing to test your knowledge of a subject like having to explain it to someone else. :sparkles:
