2,295 PointsHi There, I'm stuck on the RPG roller challenge Task 2 of 2. Does anybody have the answer?
My code works when I use Pycharm on my computer but doesn't pass the online check, does anybody know why?
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,sides=20):
super().__init__(sides)
from dice import D20
class Hand(list):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
def roll(self, NumberOfRolls):
for rolls in range(NumberOfRolls):
self.append(int(D20()))
@property
def total(self):
return sum(self)
Hand = Hand()

- since the method will be called directly on the class, it won't have a "self"
- you might want to implement "roll" as a class method
- the "roll" method above returns nothing, but it is expected to return a new instance
- it's not necessary to override "
__init__
"

3,473 PointsHi Steven - can you explain why in this task the "Roll" method should be a class method?
