Didn't understand what is the question saying to do with setattr The question is ... OK, let's combine everything we've done so far into one challenge! First, create a class named RaceCar. In the init for the class, take arguments for color and fuel_remaining. Be sure to set these as attributes on the instance. Also, use setattr to take any other keyword arguments that come in.
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining

class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)

4,573 PointsLet's say i gave in {name: "Omar", question: 'answered'}. It would set two new attributes to self, those being: self.name = 'Omar' self.question = 'answered'
