6,065 PointsHow does hand not have a roll method?
Hi, I'm trying to finish this assignment, but when I run this code it says "Bummer: 'Hand' doesn't have a roll method". Am I missing something, because as far as I can tell I've defined a method called roll already.
import random
class Die:
def __init__(self, sides=2):
if sides < 2:
raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
self.sides = sides
self.value = random.randint(1, sides)
def __int__(self):
return self.value
def __add__(self, other):
return int(self) + other
def __radd__(self, other):
return self + other
class D20(Die):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(20)
import dice
class Hand(list):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__()
def roll(self, size=2):
for _ in range(size):
self.append(dice.D20())
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)

- "roll" needs to be a class method
- "roll" needs to "return" a new instance of Hand
- you won't need to override "init"

6,065 PointsI think you meant to say "roll" needs to be a class method, since Hand is the name of the class. I finally got it working, so thanks for the help. I learned a lot more about how class methods work while being stuck on this problem.
