im stuck again :(

can super() be used on other methods or only on init !!!

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

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)


class SortedInventory(Inventory):


    def add_item(self, item):
        super().add_item(self, item)
        self.slots.append(item)

You can use "super" with any method, but like calling any method you don't need to explicitly pass a "self" argument (the system adds that for you).

You also won't need to "append" the item again since the parent "add_item" will do that.
