can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I am on a question:

Great work!

Now, make an instance of your class named me.

Then print() out the name attribute of your instance.

And I currently have a code like this:

class Student: name = "Andrei"

me = Student() print(me.Student.(name))

Can someone tell me what I am missing out on?

Thanks

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Andrei"

me = Student()
print(me.Student.(name))

Hi there,

You just want to chain the property name onto the instance me using dot notation. You don't need to use the class name in your print code. 

print(me.name)

Steve.

No, you don't. The instance you created includes all the information contained within the class definition.
