3,385 PointsPositional arguments and classmethod
Task: Below is a class called DreamVacation that holds a location and list of activities. Create a @classmethod called rome that will return a new DreamVacation instance with cls() with the following arguments: location = 'Rome' and activities list = ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'].
Hint: The classmethod should take cls instead of self as an argument.
Question: I get the error that I'm missing two positional arguments, but as far as I know, I did provide them.
class DreamVacation:
def __init__(self, location, activities):
self.location = location
self.activities = activities
# insert your code here
@classmethod
def rome(cls):
vacation = cls().__init__(location = 'Rome', activities = ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'])
return vacation

230,688 PointsThe constructor is called automatically when you create an instance:
vacation = cls(location = 'Rome', activities = ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'])
# or just:
vacation = cls('Rome', ['visit the Colosseum', 'Eat gelato'])
