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):

231,248 PointsYou have the right idea, but there's a few issues:
- the passed argument will be a count, which is not iterable, but you can make an iterable using "range"
- the example shows the method called directly on "Hand", this might be a good place to use "@classmethod"
- the challenge wants you to build "an instance of Hand", so you'll need to construct one before appending to it
- the challenge is expecting to get the new instance back, so you'll need a "return"
