3,851 PointsHi to whomever will be my much needed helper! I'm having trouble figuring out how to return a string in the challenge.
I understand how to pass the arguments when calling the class but I don't know how to incorporate that into returning the string ' Bao Bao eats bamboo.
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

Treehouse TeacherHi there, André Fosse! Looks like you're doing terrific so far. This return really isn't going to be much different than any other return statement you've done so far 
self.name and self.food inside the string:
return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."
If the name of the Panda is "Bao Bao" and the food is "bamboo", then this returns the string "Bao Bao eats bamboo." But if the name of the panda was "Fluffy" and the food was (for some odd reason) "jelly beans", then it would return "Fluffy eats jelly beans."
Hope this helps!
