5,448 PointsBummer: Can't get the length of a `Hand` When I debug in work space I can get the length.
You can see my code attached. To debug I have copied these 2 files into the workspace and enter the following commands in the python environment: from hands import Hand h = Hand() h.roll(2) len(h) #this returns '2' int(h[0]) #this returns the first die value int(h[1]) #this returns the 2nd die value
import random
class Die:
def __init__(self, sides=2):
if sides < 2:
raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
self.sides = sides
self.value = random.randint(1, sides)
def __int__(self):
return self.value
def __add__(self, other):
return int(self) + other
def __radd__(self, other):
return self + other
class D20(Die):
def __init__(self, sides=20):
super().__init__(sides=sides)
from dice import D20
class Hand(list):
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)
def roll(self, die_to_roll):
for _ in range(die_to_roll):
self.append(D20())

Also, they say "I'm going to use code similar to Hand.roll(2)" and since they will be calling the method directly on "Hand" itself, this should probably be implemented as a class method.
