For example..
def methodName(foo, bar = "example"):
With this, if you call the method and only pass one parameter, it will set the second parameter to the default value.
You need to do the same thing in this exercise. It wants you to set a default value for name in the dunder init method.
As I mentioned before, your code as it is written is technically correct, but the drill is looking for you to set a default value as well.
