Build a Salary Tracker - Step 31

Tell us what’s happening:

I am not able to pass the test 3. Your if statement should use hasattr(self, ‘_level’) to check if _level exists before comparing.but i try everything i know to solve these problem can anyone help me how to solve this

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'):
            if 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}')

Welcome to the forum @kyawphonemyint!

Please use the level getter rather than the protected attribute.

Also, note that the tests are expecting the attributes in your condition to be written the other way around.

Happy coding!
