Teacher's note

I tried the code from the teacher's note. But when running the code I got an AttributeError: 'NewClass' object ha no attribute 'name'

Wondered if the code in the method:

def name_method(self):
       return self.name

should be:

def name_method(self):
       return self.name_method

Any comment on this?

[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

It from "Object-Oriented Python" > "Instant Objects" > "What Are Objects And Classes?"

You are correct!!. The teacher’s notes for What are Objects and Classes lists the code:

class NewClass:
    name_attribute = "Kenneth"

    def name_method(self):
        return self.name

The method should be referencing self.name_attribute and not self.name

Good catch!!
