6,692 PointsWhy am I getting the try again error?
Not sure how @classmethod works but it should be straight forward. I split the str by the hyphen. Iterate through the str and append '.', or '_' to the pattern list and return it. But I am getting the try again error.
class Letter:
def __init__(self, pattern=None):
self.pattern = pattern
def __iter__(self):
yield from self.pattern
def __str__(self):
output = []
for blip in self:
if blip == '.':
output.append('dot')
else:
output.append('dash')
return '-'.join(output)
@classmethod
def from_string(cls, str):
pattern = []
new_str = str.split('-')
for word in new_str:
if word.lower() == 'dash':
pattern.append('_')
elif word.lower() == 'dot':
pattern.append('.')
return pattern
class S(Letter):
def __init__(self):
pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
super().__init__(pattern)

The challenge is asking you to return an instance of the class, initialised from the values that your method gets given. Instead you are returning a list.
Cheers
