Challenge doesn't pass

Hello all,

My answer doesn't pass even though this works on my console. Since the code is really simple: what am I doing wrong here?

Cheers,

Lennert

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Joe"

me = Student()

print (me.name)

I also tried it by adding a function:

class Student:
    name = "Joe"

    def name_method(self):
        return self.name

me = Student()

print (me.name_method())

Hiya Lennert! You code is right on point , i put your code in the editor and i reduced that tab between your print and parenthesis and it worked. Try this out:

class Student:
    name = "Joe"

me = Student()

print(me.name)

Hi there!

Let's stick with the first version. The print function is actually print(), not print (). The space is not necessary. Otherwise, everything else in your code is more or less correct.

Best of luck!
