5,029 Pointswhat is wrong with my solution?
I get:
Bummer! Didn't get the right string output. Got: dot-dot-dot for S()
class Letter:
def __init__(self, pattern=None):
self.pattern = pattern
def __str__(self):
ret_str = ""
for char in self.pattern:
if char == ".":
ret_str += "dot-"
if char == '_':
ret_str += "dash"
if ret_str:
ret_str = ret_str[:-1]
return ret_str
class S(Letter):
def __init__(self):
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
super().__init__(pattern)

16,646 PointsThough you might get the right output, I think it's looking for a different solution (maybe one that handles the dash with a hyphen as well).
In fact, I just verified that adding a hyphen to your "dash" string will complete the challenge.
ret_str += "dash-"
But in case you're interested, here is a different solution that I came up with.
class Letter:
def __init__(self, pattern=None):
self.pattern = pattern
def __str__(self):
s = "-";
str_list = []
for char in self.pattern:
if char == ".":
str_list.append("dot")
if char == '_':
str_list.append("dash")
return s.join(str_list)
class S(Letter):
def __init__(self):
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
super().__init__(pattern)
