Why do I get an AttributeError when calling the method?

In this code, there's a Person class that has an attribute name, which gets set when constructing the object.

It should do:

  1. When an instance of the class is created, the attribute gets set correctly
  2. When the greeting() method is called, the greeting states the assigned name.
class Person:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def greeting(self):
        # Should return "hi, my name is " followed by the name of the Person.
        return "hi, my name is {}".format(self.name) 
    
# Create a new instance with a name of your choice
some_person = "xyz"  
# Call the greeting method
print(some_person.greeting())

It returned the error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'greeting'

Class Person:
   def_init_(self,name):
      self.name = name
   def greeting(self):
      return name
Some_person = Person("Aisha")
Print("hi, my name is {}".format(Some_person.name))

Output: should print 'hi, my name is Aisha'

#Use str method instead of greeting() method
def __str__(self):
    # Should return "hi, my name is " followed by the name of the Person.
    return "hi, my name is {}".format(self.name) 
some_person = Person("xyz")  
# Call the __str__ method
print(some_person)

Your some_person variable is an instance of str object. Which does not have the attribute greeting.

Your class Person should be instanced with name variable before you can use greeting:

some_person = Person(“xyz”)
print(some_person.greeting())
# "hi, my name is xyz”

You're just setting the variable to a string, not a Person class. This would make a Person with a name of xyz instead.

some_person = Person("xyz")
