class StandardScalerClone(TransformerMixin, BaseEstimator): def init(self, with_mean=True): # no *args or **kwargs! self.with_mean = with_mean

**def fit(self, X, y=None):
    X = validate_data(self, X, ensure_2d=True)
    self.n_features_in_ = X.shape[1]
    if self.with_mean:
        self.mean_ = np.mean(X, axis=0)
    self.scale_ = np.std(X, axis=0, ddof=0)
    self.scale_[self.scale_ == 0] = 1  # Avoid division by zero
    return self**

def transform(self, X):
    check_is_fitted(self)
    X = validate_data(self, X, ensure_2d=True, reset=False)
    if self.with_mean:
        X = X - self.mean_
    return X / self.scale_

def inverse_transform(self, X):
    check_is_fitted(self)
    X = validate_data(self, X, ensure_2d=True, reset=False)
    return X * self.scale_ + self.mean_

def get_feature_names_out(self, input_features=None):
    if input_features is None:
        return getattr(self, "feature_names_in_",
                       [f"x{i}" for i in range(self.n_features_in_)])
    else:
        if len(input_features) != self.n_features_in_:
            raise ValueError("Invalid number of features")
        if hasattr(self, "feature_names_in_") and not np.all(
            self.feature_names_in_ == input_features
        ):
            raise ValueError("input_features ≠ feature_names_in_")
        return input_features

I think we need to assign feature_names_in in the fit function as per the exercise?
