What am I doing wrong..

For this challenge, the following question is given: "OK, let's combine everything we've done so far into one challenge! First, create a class named RaceCar. In the init for the class, take arguments for color and fuel_remaining. Be sure to set these as attributes on the instance. Also, use setattr to take any other keyword arguments that come in."

I keep getting a Bummer! Try again! What am I doing wrong?

racecar.py
class RaceCar

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setatter(self, key, value)

class RaceCar: def init(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs): self.color = color self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining for key, value in kwargs.items(): setattr(self, key, value)

It looks like it might just be a couple of typos:

  • there should be a colon after "class RaceCar"
  • "setatter" should be "setattr" (only one "e")

Thank you for your help!

class RaceCar:

def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
    self.color = color
    self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
    for key, value in kwargs.items():
        setattr(self, key, value)
