As stated when tested in workspace this code outputs the desired result. Yet it is not being accepted. What am I doing wrong?
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return(f"{self.name} eats {self.food}.")
panda_1 = Panda('Bao Bao', 47)
panda_1.eat()

AssertionError: Regex didn't match: 'return\s\(?f?...
It is looking for:
- “return” the
returnkeyword - “\s” a space (required)
- “(?” an optional open paren
- “f?” an option f for an f-string
return is not a function call. There should be a space following it.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Treehouse TeacherHi! return is a keyword, not a function call. If you include the () you can end up turning your return into a tuple on accident (if you have a comma in there). Instead, you just need to use the keyword and then a space to use it like this: return f"......"
