I don’t get this. here’s my code. where will I put this self.estimated_insurance_cost() . so it will update the cost based on the new age
def update_age(self, new_age):
self.age = new_age
return "{Name} is now {Age} years old.".format(Name = self.name, Age = self.age)Do you have a link to the project itself? There’s not quite enough information here to be sure. It sounds like you like you need to add that line within a function called update_age following an update to the .age attribute.
That is the link for the project. I am struggling too… Thank you! https://www.codecademy.com/paths/data-science/tracks/dscp-python-fundamentals/modules/dscp-python-classes/projects/ds-python-classes-project
Have you successfully created a method in part 5 called .update_age? The instructions state insurance cost should be re-estimated once the age has been updated. As per the hint above if your original .estimated_insurance_cost method is correct you should see the given string output.
def update_age(self, new_age):
self.age = new_age
return "{Name} is now {Age} years old.".format(Name = self.name, Age = self.age)
here is the method. the problem is how do I call the estimated_insurance_cost() within the method in update_age(). because when I’m printing “print(patient1.update_age(50))” it updates the age but when I’m printing the estimated_insurance_cost(), it stays with the old age. I don’t know the syntax to edit in update_age method.
here’s the link, I’m sorry to bugged you but I’m doing the right thing, my code was right. I must skipping the age 26 that’s why my answer in the hint does not match. so I thought is doesn’t change.
thanks for you help! analyzing through your code deeply and step by step might cure the error.

Hi, were you able to find a way to update the estimated insurance cost based on the new age value? I’m stuck in that same part
