Tell us what’s happening:

code is not figuring out I am not able to know the problem So code is not working

Your code so far

class Employee:
    _base_salaries = {
        'trainee': 1000,
        'junior': 2000,
        'mid-level': 3000,
        'senior': 4000,
    }

    def __init__(self, name, level):
        self.name = name
        self.level = level
        self._salary = Employee._base_salaries[level]

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.name}: {self.level}'

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Employee('{self.name}', '{self.level}')"

    @property
    def name(self):
        return self._name

    @name.setter
    def name(self, new_name):
        if not isinstance(new_name, str):
            raise TypeError("'name' must be a string.")
        self._name = new_name
        print(f"'name' updated to '{self.name}'.")

    @property
    def level(self):
        return self._level

    @level.setter
    def level(self, new_level):
        if not isinstance(new_level, str):
            raise TypeError("'level' must be a string.")
        if new_level not in Employee._base_salaries:
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid value '{new_level}' for 'level' attribute.")

# User Editable Region

        if hasattr(self, '_level') and self.level == new_level:
                raise ValueError(f"'{self._level}' is already the selected level.") 

# User Editable Region

        self._level = new_level

    @property
    def salary(self):
        return self._salary

charlie_brown = Employee('Charlie Brown', 'trainee')
print(charlie_brown)
print(f'Base salary: ${charlie_brown.salary}')

Hi @shagun7924,

The tests are expecting this to be flipped.

Please use the level property here rather than the variable intended only for internal use.

Happy coding!

I have tried flipping too but it is not working still

def level(self, new_level):

    if not isinstance(new_level, str):

        raise TypeError("'level' must be a string.")

    if new_level not in Employee.\_base_salaries:

        raise ValueError(f"Invalid value '{new_level}' for 'level' attribute.")

    if hasattr(self, '\_level') and self.\_level == new_level:

        raise ValueError(f"'{level}' is already the selected level.") 

    self.\_level = new_level

Please format your code.

There are two ways you can format your code to make it easier to read and test:

  1. After you copy/paste your code into the editor, select it by dragging your cursor over it then click the (</>) button in the toolbar to automatically wrap your code in backticks. (You can click on the animated demo image below to enlarge it.)

  1. Manually add three backticks on a new line above your code and on a new line after your code. Note that a backtick is NOT the same as a single quote('). To find the backtick key on your keyboard, see this post.

To see changes to your post as you make them, you can click the (M+) button on the toolbar to bring up the rich text editor:

It still doesn’t look like you have swapped the order of these variables in your condition.
