2,900 PointsI can't seem to get the setattr method to work. What's going on?
From examples that I am finding this looks like it is set up right but python still isn't happy with the code. What am I missing?
class Student:
name = "Jake"
def __init__(self, name **kwargs):
self.name = name
for gender, age in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, gender, age)
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()

2,900 PointsYup this is usually how it goes for me. One little thing that doesn't make it happy. Thanks Chris.
