Python Object-Oriented Python (retired) Inheritance Score Method

Confusing Question

I do not understand clearly what the question is asking me to do. Can someone please clarify?

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

    def score(self, player):
        player += 1
        self.current_score = self.current_score[player]

This tackle this a step at a time:

Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument = Create a method called Game with an argument player.

The player argument will be either 1 or 2. = Means the argument must contain a value of 1 or 2. This is actually the player#

Increase that player's value in self.current_score by 1. You'll need to adjust the index (i.e. player = 1 means self.current_score[0] needs to increase) means:

Increase each player's score by 1 depending on the argument. Player 1 has an index of 0 in an array & player 2 has an index of 1 in an array.

Thank you for the help Cindy.

Once you explained it, I understood what I had to do.
