565 PointsThe lumberjack isn't ok
I'm following along in the video, the code is, as far as i can see, exactly what Kenneth has typed in. Yet The only output i get is Kenneth sleeps all night and works all day. I've tried upper, lower case, changed the names around, with the same output line. Any ideas?? Or have I lost it?
def hows_the_parrot():
print("he's pining for the fjords!")
hows_the_parrot()
def lumberjack(name):
if name.lower == 'kenneth':
print("Kenneth's a lumberjack and he's OK!")
else:
print("{} sleeps all night and {} works all day!".format(name, name))
lumberjack("kenneth")

231,236 PointsTo invoke ("call") a method, you must place parentheses after the method name. Argument(s) may go inside the parentheses, but the parentheses must be there even if no arguments are being passed.
So you would write "name.lower()
".
