Python Object-Oriented Python Inheritance Super!

Community please help me understand this question. A i to create a method called list?

What exactly is the question requiring me to do

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() 
        self.slots.append(item)

    def list(self, sort):
        self.sort = sort
        return + add_item()

The "list" mentioned in the instructions is the one named "slots" that is inherited. You don't need to create it, and you don't need any method other than "add_item".

Also, you passed task 2 on a fluke. Calling "super" by itself doesn't do anything, but since you replicated the code from the master class you got the right result. But the instructions were asking you to use "super" to access the original "add_item" method in the master class instead of replicating the code from it.
