Why does ```hand.die_class``` and ```hand.size``` throw an AttributeError

We set size=5 and die_class=D6, but we get "AttributeError: 'Hand' object has no attribute 'size' / 'die_class' "

hand = Hand(size=5, die_class=D6)
print(hand[0].value)
print(len(hand))
print(hand.die_class)

The arguments passed to create a new instance don't automatically become attributes in the class. Based on the code, they might, but this code doesn't retain either argument that way.

The "size" argument determines how many objects will be initially stored in the Hand, and "die_class" determines what kind of objects they will be.
