Master Class RaceCar Q3

My code, isn't working, not sure why. It is working on my local IDE

class RaceCar:

def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, laps, **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 -= 0.125*(length)
    self.laps += 1

You shouldn't have 'laps' as one of the arguments. Remove it, and your code should work just fine! :) Hope this helps.

You are correct, however, now it doesn't make sense to me why you shouldn't use 'laps' as an argument when defining init.

If you have "laps" as an argument of init the user must supply an integer for "laps", if they don't, it will return a TypeError. Does that make sense?
