Learn Encapsulation by Building a Projectile Trajectory Calculator - Step 24

Tell us what’s happening:

Can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong on the call profectile_helper line. Did it with return, without, with print, and moved it everywhere. Please advise.

Your code so far

Hello,
your code is almost coorect first remove this block of code since you already add it to your projectile_helperhelper function

ball = Projectile(10, 3, 45)
print(ball)
coordinates = ball.calculate_all_coordinates()
graph = Graph(coordinates)
print(graph.create_trajectory())

Then call the projectile_helper with three values of your choice as stated at the end of the instructions

Got it! Thank you so much that was spot on!!!
