5,955 PointsFor Double class I keep getting, TypeError: int.__new__(X): X is not a type object (int) [Solved]
I can't figure out why this isn't working. It's also not asking me to multiply by two but when I do still the same issue.
class Double(int):
def __new__(self, *args, **kwargs):
return int.__new__(*args, **kwargs)

class Double(int):
def __new__(self, *args, **kwargs):
return int.__new__(*args, **kwargs)
No need for self
in __new__

Treehouse Moderator 68,427 PointsCorrect! Since the
__new__
method is called first and is responsible for creating the class instance, there is noself
yet to be referenced. After__new__
creates the instance, it calls__init__
using the newly created instance as the value of__init__.self
