What am i supposed to do?
Please, it's irritating...
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
self.slots= []
def add_item(self, item):
self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory):
def add_item(self, item, **kwargs):
super().add_item(item, **kwargs)
self.slots.append(item)
def sort_list(self, slots):
self.slots.sort()

230,274 PointsYou're getting close, but:
- the override of "add_item" doesn't need to append the item, the call to the "super" version does that
- the instructions didn't ask for a "sort_list" method, they want the "add_item" override to also do the sorting

Inventory.py
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
self.slots = []
def add_item(self, item):
self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory):
def add_item(self, item):
super().add_item(item)
self.slots.append(item)
In part 3, you actually have to replace the "self.slots.append(item)" with "self.slots.sort()". Rather than adding "self.slots.sort()" to the already existing code from the previous part of the challenge. It took me a while to figure this out. Hope that helps :)
