Emp1 = Employee('foo', 'bar', 50000)
print(Emp1.apply_raise())Output:
None
I would like to understand where I am going wrong. I am expecting the output to be 52,000.

All functions without a
return statement return None in Python. If you want to return another value, include a return statement.
In your case however,
apply_raise() is a "procedure", logically speaking: it does something (apply a raise) but it does not need to return any value. You could perhaps execute the action, then print the employee's pay instead of the result of the function.

Thanks a ton for shedding light... I'm still waddling through the Python jungle, barely out of the crib!
