31,225 PointsWhy the difference in setattr() between the Method Arguments video versus the Teachers notes listed?
What is the difference and why? between the setattr() explanation in the video and the teachers notes.
Video: def init(self, **kwargs): for key, value in kwargs.items(): setattr(self,key,value)
Teachers Notes: def init(self, **kwargs): for attribute, value in self.kwargs.items(): setattr(self,attribute,value)
I understand "attribute" is being used in place of "key" and according to my understanding could have been called just about anything else as well. BUT why the self.kwargs.items() only in the teachers notes and not in the video explanation?

Video:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self,key,value)
Teachers Notes:
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
for attribute, value in self.kwargs.items():
setattr(self,attribute,value)

Treehouse Guest TeacherThe self.kwargs was a typo. Thanks for catching it!
