Python Object-Oriented Python Inheritance Super!

Great! Now override the add_item method. Use super() in it to make sure the item still gets added to the list.

I don't know where I am insisting on making mistake

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

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

The instructions ask for an override of the "add_item" method, but you have created an override for the "__init__" method instead.

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

What I am missing here, need help to clear it out

Always start a new question instead of posting one as an "answer" to another question! :see_no_evil:

I use your answer to help me with mines. But i fix a couple of things. Your items dont match up. You have items in one of them and item in the other. Also you dont need self in the super class. After that everything should be fine.
