Price challenge

Hi Leo,

Your instincts are going in the right direction! _price does need to change. :-)

But to clarify, the setter method takes a value, and assigns it to a property within a class - in this case, price. So running the setter tells the program, "Hey, I want you to set [property name] to [the value I'm telling you]."

This means is that the setter method needs not just self as a parameter, but it also needs a second parameter that takes in the value you want to assign to the property (in this case, the new price). So you might set up the first line of the setter like this:

# Instead of...
@price.setter
def price(self):

# Use this:
@price.setter
def price(self, new_value):
# The new_value will get passed to the setter from elsewhere
# That way, it knows what you want the new value to be!

Next, you need to assign the new value to the property that goes with it. In this case, that's _price, but specifically, _price for that instance of the class. So you will need to use self, to make sure Python knows which specific object you want the price change on. You can see an example of it up in the property definition:

self._price

Now, set it equal to something; in this case, the new value that got passed to the setter:

self._price = new_value

And that's it! You don't need to return anything. You see in the property definition that it returns self._price, but that's because it's a getter. In a getter, information is flowing from the object to the user - so you need to return some information to the user. In the setter function, information is going in the reverse direction: from the user to the object. So you don't need to return anything here. They are passing information to you in the extra parameter.

I hope this helps - give it another try, and I'm sure you can figure it out!
