Issue with super()

I can't seem to correctly complete this task. Can someone please help?

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().add_item(item)
        super().slots.sort()

You are very close. super() is only used when trying to reference a method from an inherited class. In Task 3, you are asked to sort slots after the super call. Use self to reference slots: self.slots. To sort, use the sort() method: self.slots.sort()

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
