I'm totally lost

I want to use the list.sort() method to make sure the slots list gets sorted after an item is added.

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

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

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

You are super close! Since the attribute self.slots is defined as a list, it has the same .sort() method available.

Let’s see if you can make the finally leap on your own. Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
