Class Issue`

[Kevin Hu]

I believe for the correct behavior you’ll need:

myCar = Car(color=‘blue’, miles=15000)

myCar = Car(miles=25000, color=‘orange’)

In which case both objects will be initialized as the way you’d expect. 

Python is a language with very weak typing, and it’ll happily shoehorn data into variables even when you don’t expect it to. In this case it’ll assign arguments to parameters in order, which is the expected behavior.

Regards,
Kevin
