Python

Where is the bug in my code?

class Person: def init(self, **kwargs): self.race = kwargs.get('race', 'Mexican') self.age = kwargs.get('age', 3) self.language = kwargs('language', 'Spanish')

def language(self): return self.language.upper()

I have this file saved as monster.py

first i do this in the shell: python from monster import Person

then i try to get information on the person initial qualities

Person.race()

and i get a: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Person' has no attribute 'race'

Person.race()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Person' has no attribute 'race'

it does this for all of the initial traits. How do i fix this??

class Person: def init(self, **kwargs): self.race = kwargs.get('race', 'Mexican') self.age = kwargs.get('age', 3) self.language = kwargs('language', 'Spanish')

def language(self): return self.language.upper()

This is my code

You need to put dunders (two underscores __) around init so it looks like this: init This function is pronounced "dunder init".
