I agree with Ryan that challenges can be quite particular about formatting and spelling, I did find that this passed without the <>

from character import Character 

class Warrior(Character):
    weapon = "sword"

    def rage(self):
        self.attack_limit  = 20

    def __str__(self):
        return "Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

Hey John, good call. You are right, it will pass without the angle brackets.

I think the issue was actually defining self.weapon = weapon in the class which wasn't allowing the challenge to pass. I must've added the angle brackets and removed that one line in the same edit and saw that it passed. I didn't troubleshoot them one at a time.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi Nicolas,

You have to be very mindful of how the challenge wants you to format your strings. You are missing the angle brackets <> around the weapon and attack_limit in your returned string.

And there are a couple redundancies in your code that can be removed.

from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):

    weapon = 'sword'    #  You don't need to define self.weapon

    def rage(self):
        self.attack_limit = 20    # You can set self.attack_limit directly, without an intermediary variable

    def __str__(self):
        return "Warrior, <{}>, <{}>".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)
