Great! One last thing.
In Python, attributes defined on the class, but not an instance, are universal. So if you change the value of the RaceCar's laps attribute, any instance of RaceCar that doesn't have laps set explicitly will have its value changed, too!
For example, right now, if we made a RaceCar instance named red_car, then set RaceCar.laps = 10, red_car.laps would then be set to 10 too!
To prevent this, be sure to set the laps attribute inside the init method (it doesn't have to be a keyword argument, though). If you already did it, just hit that "run" button and you're good to go!

laps default value to 0”
The last three testing lines are not part of the class and can be omitted
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

This is were i am having challenges
class RaceCar: def init(self,color,fuel_remaining,laps = 10,**kwargs): self.color = color self.laps = laps self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
for key,value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,key,value)
def run_lap(self,length):
self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125)
self.laps = self.laps + 1
red_car = RaceCar("red", 50,0): RaceCar.laps = 10 red_car.laps = 10
Master class 2/3
This is what i did on 2/3 class RaceCar: def init(self,color,fuel_remaining,laps = 0,**kwargs): self.color = color self.laps = laps self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
for key,value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,key,value)
def run_lap(self,length):
self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125)
self.laps = self.laps + 1

2,577 PointsThe bottom part is missing from the one i sent first.
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self,color,fuel_remaining,laps = 10,**kwargs):
self.color = color
self.laps = laps
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
for key,value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,key,value)
def run_lap(self,length):
self.fuel_remaining = self.fuel_remaining - (length * 0.125)
self.laps = self.laps + 1
red_car = RaceCar("red", 50,0):
RaceCar.laps = 10
red_car.laps = 10
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsHi Trymore Matsapa, I'd be happy to help. What part of the instructions do you need help with? Can you show what your progress through Task 2 and what you tried for Task 3?
