light_level < 10

Hello Hanna,

If you check the teachers notes on that video you see it starts with:

"All of the same rules apply to method arguments as they do to function arguments, with the exception that the first argument has to represent the instance. You can use default values, *args, and **kwargs all you want!"

To answer your first question - no, we don't specify self when running/calling the class method. I think of it as a built in feature of classes - so that the instance details are automatically passed as the first argument (kind of behind the scenes stuff).

Now, for your second question - how does "and light_level < 10" work in the code. The return statement is evaluating an expression and returning either True or False. Remember the sneaky property is a Boolean and is set to True in the first statement. You pass a light_level argument to the method and the return statement will evaluate the expression and return either True or False. When light level is passed as 4 - (sneaky = True and (4 is < 10 = True)) - return True When light level is passed as 12 - (sneaky = True and (12 is < 10 = False)) - return False

Hope that helps
