Why is this not working

here is the code

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)
    ```
here is what's happening in the console
``` python

>>> five = NumString(5)

Your code is fine, you forgot to add double unders or dunders, that's it.

__init__

__float__
