It looks like task one is not passing, I am not able to understand why ?, what effect does task 2 has on task 1

in task 2 I have added this class and I am just initializing the constructor, this is causing task 1 to fail and I am stuck, please help.

class Player: def init(self, last_name, first_name, score) self.last_name = last_name self.first_name = first_name self.score = score

players.py
import re

string = '''Love, Kenneth: 20
Chalkley, Andrew: 25
McFarland, Dave: 10
Kesten, Joy: 22
Stewart Pinchback, Pinckney Benton: 18'''


players = re.search("""
^(?P<last_name>[\w\s]+),\s(?P<first_name>[\w\s]+)
:\s
(?P<score>[\d]+)$
""", string, re.X | re.M)



class Player:
    def __init__(self, last_name, first_name, score)
        self.last_name = last_name
        self.first_name = first_name
        self.score = score

When a previous task stops working do usual cause is a syntax error introduced during the current task.

It looks like you're missing a colon (:) at the end of line 19.

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
