How am I supposed to call eat()
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'
def check_if_hungry(self):
if self.is_hungry = True:
return self.eat()

first you should fix error in line 15 where you are assigning a value instead of comparing:
if self.is_hungry == True:
To let your panda eat ou should create a new panda first:
panda1 = Panda("flippy", 12) # new panda called "flippy" with the age of 12
Then you can let him eat:
panda1.eat()
To check if eating method works, you can print is_hungry state before and after eating:
print(panda1.is_hungry)
panda1.eat()
print(panda1.is_hungry)
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'
def check_if_hungry(self):
if self.is_hungry == True:
return self.eat()
panda1 = Panda("flippy", 12)
print(panda1.is_hungry)
panda1.eat()
print(panda1.is_hungry)
