calc() is not a class method, by default it is an instance method. That means you need to create an instance of your Rttu class, giving the argument required by the __init__ constructor. Then you can call the calc() method of that instance. Like so: r = Rttu('my name') r.calc()

square = Rectangle.new_square(5) print(square.calculate_area()) This is instantiation. You create an instance of the class Rectangle. Notice, to call the calc function you used the instance name and not the class name, so: square.calculate_area() and NOT: Rectangle.calculate_area() That's why it works.
