It is asking to add a new setter (@price.setter) method to the Product class that updates the _price attribute.
I think that is what I am doing but I get the error "Didn't correctly use (@price) setter".
Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!
class Product:
_price = 0.0
tax_rate = 0.12
def __init__(self, base_price):
self._price = base_price
@property
def price(self):
return self._price + (self._price * self.tax_rate)
@price.setter
def price(self, price):
self._price = price / (self.tax_rate + 1)

Like this:
@price.setter
def price(self, price):
self._price = price
