What am I missing here? I'm pretty certain my code matches Kenneth's code, yet I am getting an error

At 2:15 into the video, Kenneth runs the interpreter to import Add from questions, and then creates a variable that call on the Add() class. However when I try to run the script

from questions import Add
add1 = Add(5, 7)

i get an error that says

TypeError: object() takes no parameters

class Question:
    answer = None
    text = None


class Add(Question):
    def __intit__(self, num1, num2):
        self.text = '{} + {}'.format(num1, num2)
        self.answer = num1 + num2


class Multiply(Question):
    def __intit__(self, num1, num2):
        self.text = '{} * {}'.format(num1, num2)
        self.answer = num1 * num2

Your code is very close. The reason Add takes no parameters, is there is no __init__() method to run due to the typo in the method name. Change __intit__ to __init__ and it should work.

Wow....time for another cup of coffee I think. I've been staring at this for over half an hour, scrutinizing between my code and Kenneths, and failed to see any errors.

Thank you so much for your help Chris!

No worries. There have been times I've had run diff on two versions of "matching" code to find what my tired eyes couldn't see. :coffee:

I just googled diff. I was not aware such a thing existed, yet I am not surprised.

Thank you again!
