morse.py

I am lost in the sauce here boys. Please help. I've attached my attempt of the code :)

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern
        def __init__(self):
            for "." in pattern:
                return "dot"
            for "_" in pattern:
                return "dash"
        super().__init__(pattern)
        join.-

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

Here's a few hints:

  • your method must be named "__str__" (and "__init__" is already defined)
  • your method should be indented the same amount as __init__
  • you won't need to call "super" for this task
  • you might need a temporary list to build up the result
  • the "dot" and "dash" elements need to be created in the same loop to preserve the order
  • you won't use "return" until the very end of the method
  • your "return" needs to pass back the complete result
  • the syntax for "join" is :point_right: "separator(s)".join(YourList)
