Python Super OOP Challenge Task 2/3

So literally not sure where to go from here, everything I try doesn't seem to work and the "Bummer! Try again!" feedback isn't very helpful.

Any help would be appreciated!

Question: "Great! Now override the add_item method. Use super() in it to make sure the item still gets added to the list."

inventory.py 
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory):
    def __init__(self,item,slots):
        super().add_item(self,item)
        self.slots.append(item)

Hi there, very close, however, you need to create the add_item method in the SortedInventory class so as to over_ride the Inventory add_item method.

class SortedInventory(Inventory:
    def add_item(self, item):
        super().add_item(item)

Hope that makes sense
