I'm getting the correct output, but it is still saying incorrect output. Anyone have an idea?

.

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern


class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

    def __str__(self):
        output = ""
        for item in self.pattern:
            if item == '.':
                output += 'dot-'
            if item == '_':
                output += 'dash-'
        return output [:-1]

Your code works only for the Letter S since your str method is written in the child class S and not the parent class Letter.

If you move the str method to the parent class, it will work for other classes that Treehouse might try to check it with.
