1,482 PointsI have tried many times in this exam. But it's not correct. Please, help me.
NameError: name 'Book' is not defined.
class Book:
def __init__(self, author, title):
self.author = author
self.title = title
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.author}, {self.title}"
def __eq__(self, other):
if isinstance(other, Book):
return self.author == other.author and self.title == other.title
return False
from book import Book
class BookCase:
def __init__(self):
self.books = []
def add_books(self, book):
self.books.append(book)

It's pretty simple. Once you add this method to your object you can pass the challenge.
from book import Book
class BookCase:
def __init__(self):
self.books = []
def add_books(self, book):
self.books.append(book)
def __iter__(self):
yield from self.books
The __iter__ is pretty handy... you can use it to manage looping through your collection .The challenge DOES NOT ask this. But you can put this code to use like this.
book1 = Book('J.D. Salinger', 'The Catcher in the Rye')
book2 = Book('Ayn Rand', 'Atlas Shrugged')
book3 = Book('George Orwell', 'Animal Farm')
mybookcase = BookCase()
mybookcase.add_books(book1)
mybookcase.add_book(book2)
mybookcase.add_book(book3)
for book in mybookcase:
print(book)
Here is the output:
jeff@pop-os:~/projects/challeges$ python book.py
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
George Orwell, Animal Farm
