Concern

Module says that you must include “self” to indicate a method is an instance method and then the examples begin to (erroneously?) omit it

Concern

In the Building Your Own Instance Methods section, around line 158 in the readme.md file, the method definition is missing the "self" parameter and the colon:

class Dog:
  def bark #### this line
    print("Woof!")

fido = Dog()
fido.bark()
# Woof!

snoopy = Dog()
snoopy.bark()
# Woof!

The error is repeated in the 2 subsequent snippets in that section, as well.

Suggested Changes

Add in parameter and colon:

If you execute this code in the terminal by running python lib/dog.py, you
should see "Woof!" written out.

class Dog:
  def bark(self):
    print("Woof!")

fido = Dog()
fido.bark()
# Woof!

snoopy = Dog()
snoopy.bark()
# Woof!
