Python Object-Oriented Python (retired) Inheritance Score Method

Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument that'll be either 1 or 2. Increase that player's value in self.c

can someone tell me why i'm getting a syntax error in line 10?

game.py
class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = [0, 0]

    def score(self,player):
      self.player = player

      if self.player == 1:
        self.current_score[0] +=1
        elif self.player == 2:
          self.current_score[1] += 1

Try outdenting your "elif" to line up with your "if"

class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = [0, 0]

    def score(self,player):
      self.player = player

      if self.player == 1:
        self.current_score[0] +=1
      elif self.player == 2:  #<-----------
          self.current_score[1] += 1

Yes, indent and make a return statement. =D

i tried dedenting, but it gives me the error "did you create the score method?" obviously i did...

will you please show me how code looks now? =)

dedent def score(self,player):

Your code should come out like this:

class Game: def init(self): self.current_score = [0, 0]

def score(self,player): self.player = player if self.player == 1: self.current_score[0] += 1 elif self.player == 2: self.current_score[1] += 1 return self.current_score
