I believe my code is rigth and when I check the code it tells me: "try again"

<?php

class Fish { public $common_name; public $flavor; public $record_weight; function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){ $this->common_name = $name; $this->flavor = $flavor; $this->record_weight = $record; }

function getInfo(){ echo ("A ".$this->common_name." is an ".$this->flavor." flavored fish. The world record weight is ".$this->record_weight."."); }

}

$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces"); $bass->getInfo();

?>

Hi Pedro.

It was asking you tro return a stringm not to echo it. Please review the code below and see how ive returned a string fromt he function "getInfo()"

 class Fish {
    public $common_name;
    public $flavor;
    public $record_weight;

    function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
        $this->common_name = $name;
        $this->flavor = $flavor;
        $this->record_weight = $record;
    }

    function getInfo(){
        return "A ".$this->common_name." is an ".$this->flavor." flavored fish. The world record weight is ".$this->record_weight.".";
    }
 }

 $bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
 echo $bass->getInfo();
