Please help me with this
class Double():
def __new__(*args,**kwargs):
return int.__new__(*args,**kwargs)

Treehouse TeacherHi, Thomas!
In step one, your new class should take 'int' as a parent. You're missing 'int' in your code above.
class Double(int):
pass
In step 2, it's asking you to pass in self and one other argument, let's call it num. Then you need to use int to convert it and return that value:
class Double(int):
def __new__(self, num):
return int(num)
Then in step 3, you need to modify the return so it now returns the newly converted int times 2:
class Double(int):
def __new__(self, num):
return int(num) * 2
The goal here is to use int() as a function call. Right now, you are calling int's __new__ method and passing in values.
