Create a method called eat. It should only take self as an argument. Inside of the method, set the is_hungry attribute to False, since the Panda will no longer be hungry when it eats. Also, return a string that says 'Bao Bao eats bamboo.' where 'Bao Bao' is the name attribute and 'bamboo' is the food attribute.
This is currently where I'm at in my toil
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
name = 'Bao Bao'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = False
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
return Bao Bao eats bamboo

14,242 PointsThe teacher wants to play a little gotcha game with this challenge, but in a good way, to practice your brain. Coming to the challenge, the challenge states "return a string that says 'Bao Bao eats bamboo.' where 'Bao Bao' is the name attribute and 'bamboo' is the food attribute.". I want you to read this sentence more carefully, three times.
Let's take a look at your code.
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
name = 'Bao Bao'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = False👈# This should be TRUE not FALSE
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
return Bao Bao eats bamboo 👈# Completely wrong syntax or statement.
Lemme ask you a question, what is Bao Bao eats bamboo in the context of your code? You wrote it as a variable, does Bao Bao eats bamboo hold any value here?. What would've made sense if you made "Bao Bao eats bamboo" a string literal, BUT even that would've been wrong according to the challenge.
The challenge wants you to return;
"name attribute eats food attribute"
If you are still confused or stuck, just msg me here.
