Override OOP, code works, won't pass me. What am I missing.

OOP 4/8,

Keep getting a message that says my $bicycle isn’t an instance of the Bicycle class, but the code wouldn’t work if that were true, and the code works fine. What am I missing? Code below.

class Vehicle { public function honk() { return “HONK HONK!”; } } // Add your code below! class Bicycle extends Vehicle{ public function honk() { return “Beep beep!”; }

        }
    $bicycle = new Bicycle();
     echo $bicycle-> honk();
.....You were  supposed to return "Beep beep!"  but u returned "ring ring"

found that it was missing () after Bicycle in $bicycle instance <?php class Vehicle { public function honk() { return “HONK HONK!”; } }

class Bicycle extends Vehicle {

public function honk() { return “Beep Beep!”; } } $bicycle = new Bicycle(); //<———–here echo $bicycle->honk(); ?>

not sure if its correct since im a newbie but passed..lol

have the same problem <?php class Vehicle { public function honk() { return “HONK HONK!”; } }

    class Bicycle extends Vehicle {
  public function honk() {
      return "Beep Beep!";
  }
}
$bicycle = new Bicycle;
echo $bicycle->honk(); 
   
  ?>

Message –> Oops, try again! It looks like $bicycle isn’t an instance of the Bicycle class. Check the Hint if you need help!
