class Book: def init(self, name, date, author): self.name = name self.date = date self.author = author
def str(self): return f"{self.name} {self.date} {self.author}"
class shelf: def init(self): self.place = []
def iter(self): yield from self.place
def add_book(self, place): self.place.append(place)
some = Book("poop", "boob", "fine")
shelf.add_book("ebby", "Jan 27th")
I am trying to have the two classes interact with each other using dunder methods. I want to be able to add a "book" to the book shelf

Also, why would the code create a book named "some", but then not use it?
And it looks like "add_book" is being called with 2 arguments, but it's only defined to take one.
