class Warrior(Character):
weapon = "sword"
def rage(self):
self.attack_limit = 20

Treehouse TeacherHi there! The string itself that you're printing would be correct. But the challenge isn't asking you to print this string. It's asking you to define what happens when we convert the object to a string. This requires a special method __str__.Take a look:
def __str__(self):
return "Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attack_limit)
This method will print out the object in a nice, neat format.
edited to include documentation
You can find documentation on this method here
Hope this helps!

2,431 PointsI've done like u said: from character import Character class Warrior(Character): weapon = "sword" def rage(self): self.attack_limit = 20 def str(self): return("Warrior, {}, {}".format(self.weapon, self.attact_limit)
It doesn't work either.

Treehouse TeacherTake a look at the .format() method. You've misspelled attack_limit. Also, I'm not sure if it's because your code is not in markdown, but I can't see the underscores around the "str". def __str__(self):
