I ran my class & the dunder eq method in an outside text editor and it works fine. But when I submit the same code I get an error that is difficult to understand.
class Book: def init(self, author, title): self.author = author self.title = title
def __str__(self):
return f"{self.author}, {self.title}"
def __eq__ (self, other):
return (self.author == other.author and self.title == other.title)
Code is up above.
class Book:
def __init__(self, author, title):
self.author = author
self.title = title
from book import Book
class BookCase:
def __init__(self):
self.books = []
def add_books(self, book):
self.books.append(book)

Treehouse ModeratorHey Harris! No problem at all! Our challenges are graded using a regex answer. So, if the answer isn't formatted a specific way, it will throw an error. While there may be nothing wrong with the code that is entered, the syntax matters for the final answer in our code challenges.

Treehouse ModeratorHey HARRIS SPAHIC
Your code looks great, but it looks like you have a space between __eq__ and (self, other), which is causing this particular challenge to fail. Great job solving the challenge!

4,890 PointsOh wow, thank you for the catch! If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious as to why that space is relevant in what I'm assuming is a web-based IDE, rather than a text editor running python?
