Unit 5 Session 1 (Click for link to problem statements)

U-nderstand

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

• How do you update an attribute of an object and verify the update?
  • Change the attribute's value directly and call a method to print the updated information.

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Modify the is_caught attribute of the previously created squirtle object and then use a method to confirm the update.

1) Set the `is_caught` attribute of `squirtle` to True to indicate that it has been caught.
2) Call the `print_pokemon()` method to print the current state of `squirtle`, verifying the attribute update.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Not using the correct syntax to access and modify object attributes.

I-mplement

squirtle.is_caught = True
squirtle.print_pokemon()
