1,463 PointsSometimes I have other attributes I need to store on a Student instance, though. Can you use **kwargs and setattr to add
I'm not sure i understand the question, please help.
class Student:
name = "Your Name"
def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
self.name = name
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def praise(self):
return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)
def reassurance(self):
return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)
def feedback(self, grade):
if grade > 50:
return self.praise()
return self.reassurance()

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi David,
Yes, I saw that you were looking at Task 2. I had pasted your code into Task 2 and it passed the challenge. That's why I'm not sure what you are confused about. Can you be a little more clear about what exactly is confusing you? Is it the wording of the question? Is it the concept of dictionary packing/unpacking? Is it the syntax? Is it something else? Help me to help you.
Cheers
Alex

def reassurance(self):
return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)
def feedback(self, grade):

1,463 PointsHie Alex, the code snippet above is for the first task which had the question : "Our Student class is coming along nicely! I'd like to be able to set the name attribute at the same time that I create an instance. Can you add the code for doing that? Remember, you'll need to override the init method."
I'm looking for help with Task 2 which writes: "Great! Sometimes I have other attributes I need to store on a Student instance, though. Can you use **kwargs and setattr to add attributes for any other key/value pairs I want to send to the instance when I create it?"
That's the part I'm not getting.
