1,615 Points"Return False" x " = False"
Why in this case you define the boolean value with "return False"?
def use_gas(self):
self.gas -= 50
if self.gas <= 0:
return False
else:
return True
While in this case you use "self.is_moving = False"
def stop(self):
if self.is_moving:
print('The car has stopped.')
self.is_moving = False
else:
print('The car has already stopped.')
Thank You!

Notice that for the use_gas function, the value is being passed back to the caller, so it's part of a return statement.
But for stop, no value is being returned. Instead, the internal value is_moving is being tested; and also changed if needed.
