5,909 PointsGetting Error as "TicTacToe` isn't a 3x3 board" for the challenge
Create a new Board subclass named TicTacToe. Have it automatically be a 3x3 board by automatically setting values in the init.
I have tried in two ways below, but both didn’t work out got TicTacToe` isn't a 3x3 board,
Please check my below code and please suggest me what I have done wrong?
You can check challenge at this link -> https://teamtreehouse.com/library/objectoriented-python-2/dice-roller/boards

Default code given is:
class Board: def init(self, width, height): self.width = width self.height = height self.cells = [] for y in range(self.height): for x in range(self.width): self.cells.append((x, y, z))
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
My code:
class Board: def init(self, width, height): self.width = width self.height = height self.cells = [] for y in range(self.height): for x in range(self.width): self.cells.append((x, y))
class TicTacToe(Board): def init(self, width=1, length=1, height=1): super().init(width=width, height=height) self.length = length self.cells = [] for z in range(self.length): for y in range(self.height): for x in range(self.width): self.cells.append((x, y, z))
class Board:
def __init__(self, width, height):
self.width = width
self.height = height
self.cells = []
for y in range(self.height):
for x in range(self.width):
self.cells.append((x, y))
class TicTacToe(Board):
def __init__(self, width=1, length=1, height=1):
super().__init__(width=width, height=height)
self.length = length
self.cells = []
for z in range(self.length):
for y in range(self.height):
for x in range(self.width):
self.cells.append((x, y, z))

You have the right idea to override "__init__
", but all your version needs to do is call the base version and pass it the desired width and height. There's no need to replicate what the base version does.

5,909 PointsThanks for response Steven,
As per the question asked "Create a new Board subclass named TicTacToe. Have it automatically be a 3x3 board by automatically setting values in the init."
Given Base Class creating cells of 2X2 -> (x,y). So I thought of overriding init by adding additional parameter length and created 3X3 cells
But as you mentioned, I have tried by just calling as below:
class Board: def init(self, width, height): self.width = width self.height = height self.cells = [] for y in range(self.height): for x in range(self.width): self.cells.append((x, y))
class TicTacToe(Board): def init(self, width, height, length): super().init(width=width, height=height) self.length = length
But still didn't work and got "Bummer! Try again!"

231,248 PointsThe new class doesn't need to take any arguments (and should not require any) to create an instance, it just needs to pass along the correct values when it calls the base version of "
__init__
".
