Python Object-Oriented Python Inheritance Super!

Please provide the solution for this exercise

Can you please provide solution to this exercise. I seem to be having problem understanding the use of super() here

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):
        slots=[]
        super().add_item(item)
        slots = slots.sort()

The attribute self.slots is inherited from the Inventory class. Since this is a list it can be sorted in-place by using the .sort() method: self.slots.sort()
