class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self,is_hungry=True):
self.is_hungry = is_hungry
Getting an error stating that I'm suppose to have only one attribute called self.
So how do you set is_hungry=True? Above code is all i got from the previous video.
# insert your code here
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'

Also, the Markdown code to indicate formatted lines is 3 accents (```), not apostrophes (''').

You are correct. I must of misspelled something. I revisited the test and it work without pass.

Thanks for the 3 accents.
I figured it out. I forgot the importance of the 'pass' keyword within the init method. This allowed me to only take the self argument without getting unwanted errors. The previous video didn't mention this. So luckily I still had notes from past videos on 'pass'.

231,275 PointsI'm not sure why you'd need "pass" here. If I just take your original code and remove the 2nd argument, and then change the assignment to use "True", it passes the challenge.
