(Python Derived Classes) Not getting the correct output

This is my desired output: 

Name: Smith, Age: 20, ID: 9999

Here is my code so far

class PersonData:
def __init__(self):
    self.last_name = ''
    self.age_years = 0

def set_name(self, user_name):
    self.last_name  = user_name

def set_age(self, num_years):
    self.age_years = num_years

# Other parts omitted

def print_all(self):
    output_str = 'Name: ' + self.last_name + ', Age: ' + str(self.age_years)
    return output_str


class StudentData(PersonData):
def __init__(self):
    PersonData.__init__(self)  # Call base class constructor
    self.id_num = 0

def set_id(self, student_id):
    self.id_num = student_id

def get_id(self):
    return self.id_num


course_student = StudentData()

course_student = StudentData()
course_student.get_id(9999)
course_student.set_age(20)
course_student.set_name("Smith")

print('%s, ID: %s' % (course_student.print_all(), course_student.get_id()))

At the moment, it isn't running. I would really appreciate it if someone could help out. It is returning a type error for line 34, and I am not sure how to correct it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

here's the correct way to pass all test using ZyBooks

class PersonData:
    def __init__(self):
        self.last_name = ''
        self.age_years = 0

    def set_name(self, user_name):
        self.last_name  = user_name

    def set_age(self, num_years):
        self.age_years = num_years

    # Other parts omitted

    def print_all(self):
        output_str = 'Name: ' + self.last_name + ', Age: ' + 
        str(self.age_years)
        return output_str


class StudentData(PersonData):
    def __init__(self):
        PersonData.__init__(self)  # Call base class constructor
        self.id_num = 0

    def set_id(self, student_id):
        self.id_num = student_id
        
    def get_id(self):
        return self.id_num


course_student = StudentData()
course_student.set_name('Smith')
course_student.set_age(20)
course_student.set_id(9999)

print('{}, ID: {}'.format(course_student.print_all(), 
course_student.get_id()))

be sure you dont have the line course_student = StudentData( ) coded twice in your code because then your instructor will know that you copied it and pasted it from another website.

You're invoking the parent init wrongly there...

Here's how you're supposed to do it:

class PersonData:
    def __init__(self):
        self.last_name = ''
        self.age_years = 0

    def set_name(self, user_name):
        self.last_name  = user_name

    def set_age(self, num_years):
        self.age_years = num_years

    # Other parts omitted

    def print_all(self):
        output_str = 'Name: ' + self.last_name + ', Age: ' + str(self.age_years)
        return output_str


class StudentData(PersonData):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()  # Call base class constructor
        self.id_num = 0

    def set_id(self, student_id):
        self.id_num = student_id

    def get_id(self):
        return self.id_num


course_student = StudentData()

course_student = StudentData()
course_student.set_id(9999)
course_student.set_age(20)
course_student.set_name("Smith")

print('%s, ID: %s' % (course_student.print_all(), course_student.get_id()))

I also noticed that in the execution, you were calling course_student.get_id(9999) but I think you meant course_student.set_id(9999)
