What's wrong with my code?

Everything seems ok but after check it says: "Didn't get the right string output. Got: dot-dot-dot for S()"

morse.py 
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __str__(self):
        for index, value in enumerate(self.pattern):
            if value == '.':
                self.pattern[index] = 'dot'
            elif value == ',':
                self.pattern[index] = 'dash'
        return "-".join(self.pattern)


class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
        pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
        super().__init__(pattern)

Hi Artur Waligóra

Yeah, that error doesn't tell you much and probably could use a bit of tweaking. 😕

Your code is actually correct, but it's not checking for the correct symbols. You are checking for a dot . which is correct. However, you are supposed to check for an underscore _, but seem to be checking for a comma ,. Once you fix that up, it passes!

Nice work! :) :dizzy:
