Comparing and Combining Dice: TypeError, help please (:

I have the exact same code that Kenneth have but when I write d6 = D6() and then int(d6) like in the video it shows me this: *TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'D6' * here is my whole code :

import random


class Die:
    def __init__(self, sides=2, value=0):
        if not sides >= 2:
            raise ValueError("Must have at least 2 sides")
        if not isinstance(sides, int):
            raise ValueError("Sides must be a whole number")
        self.value = value or random.randint(1, sides)

        def __int__(self):
            return self.value

        def __eq__(self, other):
            return int(self) == other

        def __ne__(self, other):
            return int(self) != other

        def __gt__(self, other):
            return int(self) > other

        def __lt__(self, other):
            return int(self) < other

        def __ge__(self, other):
            return int(self) > other or int(self) == other

        def __lt__(self, other):
            return int(self) < other or int(self) == other

        def __add__(self, other):
            return int(self) + other

        def __radd__(self, other):
            return int(self) + other

class D6(Die):
    def __init__(self, value=0):
        super().__init__(sides=6, value=value)

help please ! (: have a good day.

I think your code isn't wrong. It's what you entered into the workspace (or your IPython).

for example if you did the following:

input: d1 = D6

input: int(d1)

output: TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'type'

Verses:

input: d1 = D6()

input: int(d1)

output: 3

I don't know the technical reason why d1 = D6 is wrong. Perhaps someone can shed some light.

Idam, I want to mention 2 things

  1. Try looking at you indentation, from def __int__(self): is inside the def __init__(...)
  2. also look at less than or equals magic method you named it def __lt__ where it should def __le__

Then just one last point, based on David Luo's comment, as I understand it (I may be wrong here) but the reason why you assign a variable to a class using () is because otherwise python thinks it is a variable and does not know to go looking for a class.

input: d6 = D6
python: here python will go looking for a variable named D6

input: d6 = D6()
python: here python will go looking for a class named D6
