Hi! I'm really struggling with this challenge. I can't seem to get anything but the self.reassurance() method called every time I run the code. How do I get theself.praise() method to run in my conditional statement. Please help!
class Student:
name = "Golo"
def __init__(self, name="golo", grade, **kwargs):
self.name = name
self.grade = grade
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def praise(self):
return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)
def reassurance(self):
return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)
def feedback(self, grade):
if self.grade > 50:
return self.praise()
else:
return self.reassurance()

You're not far off but it seems you've added a level of complexity not needed to pass the challenge. This part:
def __init__(self, name="golo", grade, **kwargs):
self.name = name
self.grade = grade
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
is not necessary. The rest of your code will work if you change the reference to 'grade' inside of your 'feedback' function. At the moment, you are trying to reference 'grade' inside of your function but it sits outside the function. Therefore you don't need 'self.' before 'grade.
Hope that helps.
