Hey jalil damian

So you almost got it! You shouldn't need to override the __init__ method. If you notice the Inventory class has an attribute created in its __init__ method. Since you are inheriting from this Inventory class you auto-magically inherit access to that attribute too. You should be able to access that attribute using self inside the child class (SortedInventory). Kind of like how its being done inside the Inventory class to add an item, except in your SortedInventory class right after you add an item, you need to sort THAT list.

If that makes sense? If not let me know, I will try to elaborate more with examples.
