When Warrior is converted to a string, the string should be like "Warrior, <weapon>, <attack_limit>". Update your class

When Warrior is converted to a string, the string should be like "Warrior, <weapon>, <attack_limit>". Update your class

My Code:

from character import Character class Warrior(Character): weapon = 'sword' def rage(self): self.attack_limit = 20 def str(): str = 'Warrior, {}, {}'.format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit) return str

Getting Error

warrior.py 
from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):
  weapon = 'sword'
  def rage(self):
    self.attack_limit = 20
  def str():
    str = 'Warrior, {}, {}'.format(self.weapon,  self.attack_limit)
    return str

Hi Kishore,

I have noticed that there are multiple things wrong with your code.

First of all, the __str__ method is a special method and requires you to put 2 underscores before and after str. Instead, you have just wrote str. Remember that it will not work the way you want it to if you don't write __str__.

Secondly, you have forgot to pass in the self argument to the method. Here is what your code should look like:

from character import Character
class Warrior(Character):
  weapon = 'sword'
  def rage(self):
    self.attack_limit = 20
  def __str__(self):
    str = 'Warrior, {}, {}'.format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)
    return str

Finally, I would just like to mention that the creation of the str variable on line 7 is unnecessary. you can just return the formatted string like this:

return 'Warrior, {}, {}'.format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)

:)
