1,503 PointsWhy am I getting this error? AttributeError: type object 'str' has no attribute 'value'
class NumString:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = str(value)
def __str__(self):
return self.value
def __int__(self):
return int(self.value)
def __float__(self):
return float(self.value)
in the Shell, I did as Kenneth did:
>>>from numstring import NumString
>>>five = NumString(5)
>>>str(five)
the error message shows: AttributeError: type object 'str' has no attribute 'value'
Where am I doing wrongly?

I can cause the same error if I make one change in the code:
def __str__(self):
return str.value # changed "self" to "str"
