I am not sure why this is not passing?
from game import Game
class GameScore(Game):
def __str__(self):
return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(self.score[5], self.score[10])

Courses Plus Student 10,027 Pointsthis would also work: .format(*self.score) # unpacking the tuple

You are refernecing the tuple at index 0 and index 1 to get the values 5 and 10.
So your code would look like this.
from game import Game
class GameScore(Game):
def __str__(self):
return "Player 1: {}; Player 2: {}".format(self.score[0], self.score[1])
Keep up the great work! :)

9,783 PointsI changed the index values to 0 and 1 as you suggested and it passed (Thank you!). I'm still wondering why my code no longer needs the result of a 5 score and a 10 score. Did the question just want us to write a general code and was just providing an example of what the results would be if it was actually carried out?
The question was:
Add a str method to GameScore that returns the score in the string "Player 1: 5; Player 2: 10", using the correct values from self.score. self.score is a tuple with Player 1's score and Player 2's score like (5, 10). You do not need to define self.score. It comes from the Game class.

22,160 PointsYeah, the question reads a little ambitiously. The giveaway there is the use of the tuple. So that tells you that you are wanting to use the index numbers to reach the values within that tuple. :)

14,380 PointsThanks to Nathan, this helped me, too. I actually had the right answer for the str method, with the indexes 0 and 1, but left the pass statement in from the first challenge. Once I removed it, my code passed.
