Works fine but codegym doesn't like it. Any hints on what it's look for?...

Question about the task

Resolved

I got result needed and I consider it to be solved, now why codegym doesn't like my code, I want to get a credit for a time spent, and few hints on what results should look like in a future would be appreciated. I like to experiment but it looks like there certain template I should be following to get codegym to accept my code. Anyway, thanx for any help it would be most welcome...

useful

The program should take any name as input and create 6 objects as according to task. If I entered the names: Bob Nina Raalph Tina Tommy Alice The correct output would be: The cat's name is Bob, no mother, no father The cat's name is Nina, no mother, no father The cat's name is Raalph, no mother, Bob is the father The cat's name is Tina, Nina is the mother, no father The cat's name is Tommy, Tina is the mother, Raalph is the father The cat's name is Alice, Tina is the mother, Raalph is the father Fix the bugs in your code that prevent this.
