Python Object-Oriented Python Advanced Objects Double

Remove pass from the body

Remove pass from the body of the Double class. Define the new method. The new method should accept self and one argument. Convert the argument to an int and return it.

doubler.py
class Double(int):
    def __new__(self):
        self = int.__new__(self.)
        self = self[::-1]
        return self

The task 2 instructions say "The new method should accept self and one argument.", but the code here accepts only "self". You need another parameter to accept the argument.

Then, once you have it, the rest of the instructions say "Convert the argument to an int and return it.". You won't need to do anything with "self".

still i didnt get it

If see that function taking an argument other than "self", what's the name of the parameter that will hold the argument?
