Hi guys,
Could someone please tell me why my code doesn't work/solve the challenge?
Many thanks
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):
super().__init__(sides=20)
class Hand(list):
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)
def roll(cls, diceNo):
hand = Hand()
for _ in range(diceNo):
self.append(D20())
return hand

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsSorry, I missed the syntax error in the import statement. The format should be:
from module import object
So,
from dice import D20
Also, the correct posting formatting uses backticks: ```python. you have been using three single quotation marks.
The backtick is in the upper left of keyboard near the 1 key.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsYou are very close!!
- need to import
D20fromdice - add
@classmethodtorollmethod - reference the current class as
cls()instead ofHand
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

7,724 PointsHey! Thanks! Tried this but not quite there yet:
import D20 from dice
class Hand(list):
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)
@classmethod
def roll(cls, diceNo):
hand = cls()
for _ in range(diceNo):
self.append(D20())
return hand

7,724 PointsHi Chris,
Thanks, but sorry it still doesn't quite work for me! Could you please take hopefully a final look:
import D20 from dice
class Hand(list):
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)
@classmethod
def roll(cls, diceNo):
hand = cls()
for _ in range(diceNo):
hand.append(D20())
return hand
