Code works in compiler but not code challenge. Getting OH no you forgot to add self as an argument.

As the title suggest I am reeving this error and I have no idea why. The code works in the Work-space here it is

class Student: name = "Your Name"

def praise(self):
    return print("This shold be working WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {}".format(self.name))

grant = Student()
grant.name = "Grant" Student.praise(grant)

I also tried grant.praise() and that will not work either.

first_class.py 
class Student:
    name = "Your Name"

    def praise(self):
        return print("This shold be working WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! {}".format(self))

grant = Student()
grant.name = "Grant"
Student.praise(grant)

The print function returns None so your praise method returns None. Remove the print function.

If you want to test try:

grant = Student()
grant.name = "Grant"
print(grant.praise())

Although your test code should also be removed from the challenge.

You will also want to use self.name like in your first code. Your second code only has self.
