I am stuck on this challenge. i also tried:

class Student:
    name = "mohan"
    me = Student()
    print(me)```

```first_class.py
class Student:
    name = "mohan"
    me = name()
    print(me)

It looks like you have these issues:

  • the task 2 code should be outside of the class (so not indented)
  • to create an instance you use the class ("Student()"), not the attribute ("name()")
  • to reference an attribute you put both the instance name and the attribute name with a period between
class Student:
    name = "mohan"

me = Student()
print(me.name)
