This is what it says:
Great! Now override the add_item method. Use super() in it to make sure the item still gets added to the list.
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
self.slots = []
def add_item(self, item):
self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(self)

Other than the method name, the major difference is that add_item takes an argument.

3,795 PointsNo sure what Wrong I am doing here ''' class Inventory: def init(self): self.slots = []
def add_item(self, item):
self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory): def init(self): super().add_item(self, item): self.slots.append(item) '''
