.Orange().squeeze() == false

Quiz Question 3 of 5 "

class Orange(Fruit):
    has_pulp = True

    def squeeze(self):
        return has_pulp

Orange().squeeze() will return True. "

The quiz says this is false. I don't understand why. Any insight would be much appreciated :)

The "squeeze" method is not coded correctly.

When referencing a class property, the name must be prefixed with "self.", which was not done here. Based on the code shown, the global "has_pulp" being referenced here may not be defined, or if it is, it's value is unknown.

Also Fruit class is undefined

For the purpose of the quiz question, I think you're supposed to assume that Fruit is defined elsewhere.

I was totally overlooking the syntax. I thought I was missing some concept on parent classes. Thanks lol
