Now update Hand in hands.py. I'm going to use code similar to Hand.roll(2) and I want to get back an instance of Hand with two D20s rolled in it. I should then be able to call .total on the instance to get the total of the two dice.
import random
class Die:
def __init__(self, sides=2):
if sides < 2:
raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
self.sides = sides
self.value = 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)
from dice import D20
class Hand(list):
def __init__(self, size=0, die_class=D20):
self.size = size
super().__init__()
for _ in range(size):
self.append(die_class())
@classmethod
def roll(cls, size=2)
return cls.size
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)

- you forgot the colon (":") at the end of the definition line for the roll method
- cls represents the class itself (not an instance), so you can't take the size property of it
- you want to return an instance of the class, so you'll need to invoke it (with parentheses after the name)
- remember to pass the size argument when you create the instance

8,538 PointsThanks, Steven!! Sorry, had to repost the changes I made because there was a typo. I'm stuck again as I don't know what needs to be added to make the code work. Can you please take a look? Thank you again!

231,072 PointsSomehow, you stuck a stray colon on the end of your import line. Otherwise, I think you've got it.
