I can't figure out how to call the eat method

Question

Create another method called checkifhungry that also only takes self. Inside of the method, if the is_hungry attribute is True, then call the eat method.
```panda.py
class Panda:
    species = 'Ailuropoda melanoleuca'
    food = 'bamboo'
def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.is_hungry = True
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

def eat(self):
    self.is_hungry = False
    return f'{self.name} eats {self.food}.'
def check_if_hungry(self):
    if is_hungry = True:
        return eat
pandaone = Panda('Bao Bao', 10)
pandaone.eat()
```

Your new error, the SyntaxError, is because = is an assignment operator! In order to compare in an if statement, it has to be == which is a comparison operator. I hope this helps!

def checkifhungry(self):
    if is_hungry == True:

return eat(self)
panda1 = Panda("Boa Boa", 10)        
panda1.eat()
whats wrong with my code:
AssertionError: Regex didn't match: 'if\sself.ishungry\s?=?=?\s?[True]*:' not found in 'class Panda:
 species = \'Ailuropoda melanoleuca\'
 food = \'bamboo\'

def _init(self):
 self.ishungry = True
 def _init(self, name, age):
 self.name = name
 self.age = age
 def eat(self):
 self.ishungry = False
 return f"{self.name} eats {self.food}."
 def checkifhungry(self):
 if ishungry == True:
 return eat(self)

panda1 = Panda("Boa Boa", 10) 
panda1.eat()' : You should be checking if the is_hungry attribute is true. Make sure to use self to call the attribute.

panda1 = Panda("Boa Boa", 10)        
panda1.eat()
I seem to keep getting the: : You should be checking if the is_hungry attribute is true. Make sure to use self to call the attribute.error

Hi Mario,
You can only invoke eat() on the instance of the Panda class, so instead of returning eat. Return self.eat().
