7,032 Pointscan anyone suggest what I did wrong in this code?
for the task 3 of 3, I do think I put laps inside the init, but still not right, can you help?
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, laps, **kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.laps = laps
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def run_lap(self, length):
self.fuel_remaining -= length * 0.125
self.laps += 1

You're close. The question says about laps, it doesn't have to be a keyword argument, though.
So, just set laps to zero inside __init__, rather than pass it in as an argument:
class RaceCar:
#laps = 0
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining,**kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.laps = 0
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)
def run_lap(self, length):
self.fuel_remaining -= length * 0.125
self.laps += 1
I hope that helps,
Steve.
