Unable to add arguments __init__

Using your Panda class, add two arguments to your class in the init method called name and age. Set the values inside of the init method using self.

I keep getting an assertion error when attempting to add arguments the init method.

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

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = 'Jason'
        self.age = 32

Hey Jason Kanjiravilyil This challenge is asking you to pass in the value of the names passed into it. So when the function is called, the name and age will be passed in as arguments. So for this challenge you can set self.name equal to name and self.age equal to age.

Hope this helps :D
