Challenge

2:10 with Megan Amendola

Tackle an OOP vocabulary challenge to test your skills.

Challenge Steps

  1. I want you to create a class called Treehouse.
  2. Add a class attribute called product that is equal to the string “coding courses”
  3. Add an initializer method that takes a parameter called name.
  4. Add a name instance attribute set equal to the parameter being passed in.
  5. Create a method called learn. Inside the method return a string that contains the name instance attribute so you would get something like “Tim is learning to code!” where Tim is the name passed into the class.
  6. Create an instance of the class and save it to a variable named my_treehouse. Pass in your name as the name parameter.
  7. (and final step) Call your learn method and print out the result.

    Hi my name is Megan and I'm a teacher here at Treehouse. 0:09
    In this practice session I'm going to test your knowledge of OOP vocabulary. 0:13
    I'm sure you realize pretty quickly that learning OOP comes with a large new set of 0:18
    vocabulary words. 0:23
    I'm going to give you a file with some prompts using OOP vocabulary to test your 0:25
    knowledge. 0:29
    The file can be found in the attached workspace, 0:31
    or in the downloads tab below this video, if you wanna work locally. 0:34
    I also listed the instructions in the Teacher's Notes just in case you need them. 0:38
    Ready for the challenge? 0:43
    First, I want you to create a class called Treehouse. 0:47
    Second, add a class attribute called product that is 0:51
    equal to the string coding courses. 0:56
    Third, add an initializer method that takes a parameter called name. 1:00
    Fourth, add a name instance attribute set equal to the parameter being passed in. 1:07
    Fifth, create a method called learn. 1:15
    Inside the method, return a string that contains the name instance attribute, 1:19
    so you would get something like, Tim is learning to code, 1:25
    where Tim is the name passed into the class. 1:30
    Sixth, create an instance of the class and save it to a variable named my_treehouse. 1:35
    Pass in your name as the name parameter. 1:42
    Seventh and final step, call your learn method and print out the result. 1:45
    When you run the file, No 1:52
    errors should be encountered and the phrase, Megan is learning to code, 1:57
    should be printed to the console where Megan is your name that you passed in. 2:02
    Good luck. 2:08
