10,255 PointsHi, Can someone help me here,
I am see nothing wrong with this code. Let's practice using @classmethod! Create a class method in Letter named from_string that takes a string like "dash-dot" and creates an instance with the correct pattern (['_', '.']).
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, my_string):
my_list = my_string.split("-")
output = []
for element in my_list:
if element == "dash":
output.append("-")
else:
output.append(".")
return cls(output)
class S(Letter):
def __init__(self):
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
super().__init__(pattern)

method, you have
output.append("-")
It took me a few minutes to spot it, and I'm pretty sure I did the same thing when I did this question, but if you reread the question, the challenge wants the output with an underscore, not a dash. Changing it to
output.append("_")
worked for me.

8,810 PointsYou have an issue with indentation. It looks like you added a space by accident in the following line
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
in the
S
class. Backspace to line it all up properly and it should work. To find this, I recommend copying and pasting code that you have problems with into an IDE like PyCharm. It will spot these indentation mistakes for you.Perfect Tinotenda Mashingaidze
