I am not quite sure what to do with this super() method. can anybody help?

Stuck on how to override the add_item

inventory.py 
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory):
    def super().add_item(self, item):
            self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory):

    def add_item(self, item):
        super().add_item(item)
        self.slots.sort()

Good luck :)

Hey john, thanks. Why did you add the self.slots.sort() line, what does that mean

You are welcome.

 self.slots.sort()

and this line to sort the items inside your list and it is an objective of the challenge.

Good luck :)
