This code works fine when i run it in my IDE, but when i run it here i keep getting an "AssertonError". Does anyone know why?
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return "{} eats {}.".format(self.name, self.food)
def check_if_hungry(self):
if self.is_hungry:
self.eat()

If you think that's too strict, or if you just think the error message needs to be more helpful, you might make a suggestion to the Support folks.
