1,539 PointsIt tells me I get an unexpected key word argument "sides"? This on my super init line
My 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 __init__(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):
return int(self) >= other
def __le__(self):
return int(self) <= other
class D6(Die):
def __init__(self, value = 0):
super().__init__(sides = 6, value = value)
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

, the method __init__
is defined a second time which overwrites the first version that is looking for the keywords. In the second version, no keywords are expected which causes the error.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

__init__
it is supposed to be__int__(self):

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsJared Schubert, when anything is defined a second time, such as
__init__
above, only the most recent definition survives. The earlier definitions are overwritten.
