Can someone please help me with my code?

I have no clue what to do with this question. I dont really understand how what it means by override?

inventory.py 
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)
class SortedInventory(Inventory):
    super().init(self):
        def init.(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

An "override" is when you create a method that has the same name as method in the parent ("super") class.

Here's a few hints on the code:

  • be sure your method has the correct name (including underscores)
  • be sure to use the correct name when calling the "super" version
  • make sure the call to the "super" is within the new method
  • a method call should not be followed by a colon
  • check the indentation
