I didn't get the question. Override a super class method to make sure its action is still executed.

Question: Now override the add_item method. Use super() in it to make sure the item still gets added to the list.

I have overriden the super().add_item() in my code. I have also tried

def add_item(self, item): super().add_item(self, item)

I don't think I understand what is asked precisely.

inventory.py 
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory(Inventory):
    def __init__(self, item):
        super().add_item(self, item)

Hi Katherina

This should actually work:

def add_item(self, item):
    super().add_item(self, item) ---> Note: 'self' is not needed here

You stated that you tried it and it didn't, but it should. Try again?

Good luck! Ave
