NameError 'odometer' not defined - rfernandez15 - Nov-25-2019
I keep getting a name error for odometer. I am following a textbook example and I seem to have everything correct according to the book. PLEASE HELP!
class Car():
def __init__(self, make, model, year):
self.make = make
self.year = year
self.model = model
self.odometer = 0
def get_descriptive_name(self):
long_name = str(self.year) + ' ' + self.make + ' ' + self.model
return long_name.title()
def read_odometer(self):
print('this car has' + str(odometer) + ' miles on it.')
mycar = Car('audi', 'a4' , 2016)
print(mycar.get_descriptive_name())
mycar.odometer = 23
mycar.read_odometer()

Line 13 should have 'self.odometer' instead of 'odometer'. It's an instance attribute, so you need to reference the instance.
