I have my class set, but it looks like it might not be recognized. Any pointers guys?
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("{} eats {}".format(name)(food))

I hope this helps!

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} eats {self.food}."
Pay close attention to the Return statement in def eat(self):
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."
you will see that the parenthesis are removed from the return statement and the name and food attributes are string formatted with (dot) formation inside of the curly brackets, and you have an indentation error.
I hope this helps
