Code challenge help please

I am not really sure how to solve this problem. The question asks to produce a string which looks like "Warrior, <weapon>, <attack_limit". However once I achieve this, it expects specific values on these attributes. I am completely lost as to what piece of this puzzle I am missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Fahad Lashari

warrior.py 
from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):
    weapon = "sword"
    attack_limit = 20
    def rage(self):
        self.attack_limit = 20

    #def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        #for key, value in kwargs.items():
            #setattr(self, key, value)

    def __str__(self):
        return "{}, {}, {}".format(self.__class__.__name__,
                                   Character().__class__.weapon,
                                   Character().__class__.attack_limit)

    # Bummer! Expected "Warrior, axe, 40", got "Warrior, sword, 20".

You're getting too fancy, keep it simple.

  • the way you get "Warrior" works, but that can simply be a literal part of the format string
  • in an earlier task you set attack_limit. You can access it the same way to pass it to format
  • you can also access the weapon the same way as attack_limit
