Python Object-Oriented Python Inheritance Super!

What am I doing wrong?

class Inventory: def init(self): self.slots = []

def add_item(self, item):
    self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory): def init(self, slots = []): super().init() self.slots= slots

def add_item(self,item):
    super().add_item(item)
    self.slots.sort()

When I execute this code on my computer it sorts my list but here in the editor I get an error, what am I missing? inv = SortedInventory() inv.add_item("Oranges") inv.add_item("Cheese") inv.add_item("Ham") inv.add_item("Apples") print(inv.slots)

inventory.py
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory):
    def __init__(self, slots = []):
        super().__init__()
        self.slots= slots


    def add_item(self,item):
        super().add_item(item)
        self.slots.sort()

You're doing things that were not asked for in the challenge. In fact, you don't need to override "__init__" in the new class at all.

Just remove the "__init__" override and you'll pass.
