The task: Create a class method in Letter named from_string that takes a string like "dash-dot" and creates an instance with the correct pattern (['_', '.']).
I'm not sure where to go with this and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any tips or hints would be appreciated.
Thanks!
class Letter:
def __init__(self, pattern=None):
self.pattern = pattern
def __iter__(self):
yield from self.pattern
def __str__(self):
output = []
for blip in self:
if blip == '.':
output.append('dot')
else:
output.append('dash')
return '-'.join(output)
@classmethod
def from_string(cls, dash_dot_string):
dash_dot_list = dash_dot_string.split('-')
pattern_list = []
for item in dash_dot_list:
if item == 'dot':
pattern_list.append('.')
else:
pattern_list.append('_')
return cls(pattern_list)
class S(Letter):
def __init__(self):
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
super().__init__(pattern)

19,424 PointsHmm, when I copy this code exactly as is into the challenge, it passes. It might just be something to do with spaces/tabs in the challenge editor?
