ypeError: this constructor takes no arguments

[manisha pushya]

Hello
I have written a very simple program to create an instance in Python. my code is as follows.

class Athlets:
      def _init_(self,a_name):
          self.name=a_name
sarah = Athlets("Sarah")
print(sarah)

But I am getting TypeError like bellow
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test_class.py" , line 4, in <module>
sarah = Athlets("Sarah" )
TypeError: this constructor takes no arguments

please help
thanks

Name of the constructor should be __init__ (with two underscore characters on either side). A small typo, The rest is good.
