Warrior Challenge 4 of 4

Please give me a tip, what could be wrong with my code...?

I get: "Bummer Try Again!"

warrior.py 
from character import Character


class Warrior(Character):
  weapon = 'sword'


  def rage(self):
    self.attack_limit = 20
    return "Warrior, {}, {}".format(weapon, self.attack_limit)
  pass

Hello Christine.

First thing, get rid of that "pass". We do not need it anymore.

We need to use 

def __str__(self):

when we want to let the compiler know the way we want to convert the class into a string.

And I see is that you have put "Warrior" in the string, but we need to substitute it with a placeholder: "{}". Then, in the format, as the first value, we need to put the class name, so: self.class.name

Also, please change weapon to self.weapon as you forgot the "self" there.

This result into the finale code for this last task of:

def __str__(self):
  return "{}, {}, {}".format(self.__class__.__name__, self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

Please not that "def" should here be in the same column as the previously used def rage(self)

Let me know if it is at least a bit clearer now.

Vittorio

You are returning the string from the rage method, but the task is for you to return the string from the method called when "Warrior" is converted to a string, which would be the "str" method. 

def __str__(self):
   ...
   ...

Also, you are missing a self in the string format arguments.

Edit: Damn, too late XD
