230,688 PointsYou're close, but:
- the instructions say the method should return the message, and you won't need to "print" anything
- the instructions don't ask for the "name" attribute to be changed by the method
- "name" is part of the class, the method doesn't need to have it as a parameter
- the internal "name" needs "self." prefixed to it when you reference it
