I created the init(self, arg), and assign arg to self.name, but always resulted in failure...don't really know why..

Question

i probably misunderstood the meaning of the question. But on my python terminal, it compiles and runs just fine. Here's what I did:

def init(self, arg): self.name = arg

Is there anything wrong with this approach?

It asks for you to give name a default value of your choice. That would look something like this:

class Student():
    def __init__(self, name="My name goes here"):
        self.name = name
