Hey guys,
I'm not sure where my code is wrong, it keeps saying that task 1 is no longer loading. Would appreciate your help
class Student:
name = "Your Name"
def __init__(self, name, **kwargs):
self.name = name
for key, value in kwargs.item():
setattr(self, key, value)
def praise(self):
return "You inspire me, {}".format(self.name)
def reassurance(self):
return "Chin up, {}. You'll get it next time!".format(self.name)
def feedback(self, grade):
if grade > 50:
return self.praise()
return self.reassurance()

The issue here is the spelling of the method "kwargs.item()" (singluar) instead of "kwargs.items()" (plural).

7,611 Pointswhy does it need to be "items"? just because thats what ken used in his video for his game character, in what way should that relate to every other instance of kwargs

231,275 PointsThe name of the method being used is "items". It is a built-in method available on any dictionary object. Ken did not invent it, he just shows examples of how to use it.
