When Warrior is converted to a string, the string should be like "Warrior, <weapon>, <attack_limi

i can't pass this task , i don't know why.

warrior.py 
from character import Character

class Warrior(Character):
  weapon = 'sword'

  def rage(self):
    self.attack_limit = 20

    def __str__(self): 

    return string

You need to return a formatted string from your __str__() method.

All Warriors will have a string starting with "Warrior" and then you’ll have two variable values based on properties of the class. So, one way to write the formatted string would be:

"Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

Now when you call print(), for example, on an instance of Warrior() that has had your rage() method called on it, it should print out:

Warrior, sword, 20

(You also have some indentation problems as the code appears above, but those are presumably beside the point of your main question.)

You coded this well, the only issue is your last step (step 4). The str is meant to print out a specific string that describes, or summarizes the class that it is located in. Your class is Warrior, so the str should print out:

Warrior, sword, 20.

This is all the information that is written inside of your class. So we aren't just returning 'string,' we want to return a specific string that describes the warrior.

  def __str__(self):
    return "Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

The code I wrote above will print out the requirements. Notice that I wrote self.weapon and self.attack_limit. Self tells the code to find the locations inside of the Warrior class where you referred to weapon and attack_limit.
