I tested the script in visual studio code and it works, but it is not working on this website....

does this affect my coursework?

panda.py 
# insert your code here
class Panda:
    species = "Ailuropoda melanoleuca"
    food = "bamboo"

    def __init__(self,is_hungry=True):
        self.is_hungry = is_hungry

Visual Studio can only detect syntax errors, it has no idea if your code is doing what the instructions asked for.

The instructions for task 2 say "Add an init method to your class. It should only take the self argument.", but this code has the method taking two arguments instead.

You should have also gotten this hint when you tried it:

"Bummer: AssertionError: 1 != 2 : Your method should only take the self argument"
