Data Analysis Techdegree Student 10,200 Points3/3 list sort task.
I feel like the sort should go inside the dunder method. I'm not getting any errors towards syntax but I could be wrong in many senses of the task
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
self.slots = []
self.slots.sort(item)
def add_item(self, item):
self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory):
def add_item(self, item):
super().add_item(item)

The sorting is the main purpose of this new class. No changes should be made to the original "Inventory" class.

Inventory.py
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
self.slots = []
def add_item(self, item):
self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory):
def add_item(self, item):
super().add_item(item)
self.slots.append(item)
In part 3, you actually have to replace the "self.slots.append(item)" with "self.slots.sort()". Rather than adding "self.slots.sort()" to the already existing code from the previous part of the challenge. It took me a while to figure this out. Hope that helps :)
