This code fails: 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}'
class Panda:
species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, age, name='Bao Bao'):
self.is_hungry = True
self.name = name
self.age = age
def eat(self):
self.is_hungry = False
return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}'

But the code above shows that the argument "age" was added before "name", which would not work the same.
Also, the instructions don't ask you to include a default value for "name", but that extra step in itself won't cause an issue.
