Alright, I need you make a new method named feedback. It should take an argument named grade. Methods take arguments just like functions do. You'll still need self in there, though.
If grade is above 50, return the result of the praise method. If it's 50 or below, return the reassurance method's result.
class Student:
name = "Your Name"
grade = 0
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(grade, self):
if self.grade > 50:
return praise(self.name)
else:
return reassurance(self.name)

On the feedback, you need self as the first parameter rather than grade.
When you test the grade, you should not be referencing "self.grade" but just the "grade" parameter
When a class calls/executes its own function, you need to add self. See below:
class Student:
name = "Your Name"
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:
# call the self.praise method
return self.praise()
else:
# calling reassurance method
return self.reassurance()

- the "self" parameter should be the first thing in the parameter list
- since "grade" is a parameter, it won't need a "self." prefix
- but the methods you are calling will need a "self." prefix
- neither method takes an argument

1,635 PointsWhat is wrong with this code ?Can't I define grade after name with random function?
import random class Student:
name = "Your Name"
grade=random(1,100)
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:
# call the self.praise method
return self.praise()
else:
# calling reassurance method
return self.reassurance()
