Stuck again.

Create another method called check_if_hungry that also only takes self. Inside of the method, if the is_hungry attribute is True, then call the eat method.

panda.py 
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
    name = 'Bao Bao'

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'

    def check_if_hungry(self):
        if self.is_hungry:
            return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'

You're word away from completing the challenge. Read the instructions carefully " if the is_hungry attribute is True, then CALL THE EAT METHOD".

The challenge requires you to Call the eat() method.

class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
    name = 'Bao Bao'

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'

    def check_if_hungry(self):
        if self.is_hungry:
            return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.' 👈#Here.

Thank you much again!!

class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
    name = 'Bao Bao'

    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.is_hungry = True
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def eat(self):
        self.is_hungry = False
        return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'

    def check_if_hungry(self):
        if self.is_hungry:
            return self.eat()

i put in exactly how both codes look ad keep getting:

AssertionError: 'self.eat()' not found in 'class Panda:\n species = \'Ailuropoda melanoleuca\'\n food = \'bamboo\'\n\n def init(self):\n self.is_hungry = True\n def init(self, name, age):\n self.name = name\n self.age = age\n def eat(self):\n self.is_hungry = False\n return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."\n def check_if_hungry(self):\n if self.is_hungry == True:\n return f\'{self.name} eats {self.food}.\'' : Inside of the if statement, call the eat method using self.

Hey Evelyn Meza, I apologize for such late response time, but I'll just forward you to this community discussion covering the same section. You might find your answer and a solid understanding there. If you're still having trouble after that, then I'll see what I can do. Take it easy and keep up the great work!
