RPG Roller Code Challenge

My error is reading "Got the wrong length for a 'Hand()'. I am clearly getting some kind of length response with my current code which is good but I can't seem to get past that hump. Thank you, in advance, for your time and assistance.

dice.py
import random


class Die:
    def __init__(self, sides=2, value=0):
        if sides < 2:
            raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
        if not isinstance(sides, int):
            raise ValueError("Sides must be a whole number")
        if not isinstance(value, int):
            raise ValueError("Value must be a whole number")
        self.sides = sides
        self.value = value or random.randint(1, sides)

    def __int__(self):
        return self.value

    def __add__(self, other):
        return int(self) + other

    def __radd__(self, other):
        return self + other


class D20(Die):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(sides=20)
hands.py
from dice import D20


class Hand(list):
    def __init__(self, size=None):
        self.size = size

    @classmethod
    def roll(cls, dice_roll):
        size = []
        for _ in range(dice_roll):
            size.append(D20())   
        return cls(size)

    @property
    def total(self):
        return sum(self.size)

#    def __len__(self):
#        return len(self)

I tried your code and it passed. Not sure why you would be getting that message. Try restarting the challenge. If it persists, maybe post the error message here.

The "roll" method itself looks good. :+1:   But two issues stand out:

  • you don't need to override "__init__"
  • don't modify the provided "total" method code
