-
ishould be compared to "dot", not a literal period (".") - The colon for the
elifstatement needs to be a the end of the line - You need to spit
xinto words usingx.split(). Otherwise, the for loop will evaluate each character of the string.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!

3,222 Pointsi got it can you help me with this problem Frustration
class Liar(list):
def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
super.__init__()
def __len__(self):
return len(self)-2
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]
Chris Freeman
Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsSince you are overriding the __len__ method you need to use super().__len__() to get the length of this instance.
Also, correct
- the "lie" should use addition, since you can't return a negative length.
- the
super()in__init__is missing parens
Good Luck!!

3,222 Pointsits still not working
class Liar(list):
def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
super().__init__()
def __len__(self):
return super().__init__()+2

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsYou need super().__len__ not __init__

3,222 PointsThis code is working but i have few questions
class Liar(list):
def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
super().__init__()
def __len__(self):
return super().__len__() + 2
1) How to use the above modified len method because when i use the below code, its not modifying the result
from Frustration import Liar
x=Liar()
x=['y','x']
print (len(x))
2) can the same job be done with out overriding init(), if not then why??

Chris Freeman
Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsThe code x=['y','x'] reassigns x to be a regular list.
There are two ways to use Liar:
# instantiate, then extend (or append):
from Frustration import Liar
x=Liar()
x.extend(["y", "x", "w"])
print(len(x))
# shows 5
# improve init to accept initial values
class Liar(list):
def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
super().__init__(*args,**kwargs) # pass args along
def __len__(self):
return super().__len__() + 2
x=Liar(["y", "x"])
#x=['y','x'] # skipped
print (len(x))
# shows 4
