Please help I am lost in my code

What is wrong with my code?

morse.py
class Letter:
    def __init__(self, pattern=None):
        self.pattern = pattern

    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.pattern

    def __str__(self):
        output = []
        for blip in self:
            if blip == '.':
                output.append('dot')
            else:
                output.append('dash')
        return '-'.join(output)
    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls,string):
        l = string.split('-')
        s = []
        for blip in l:
            if blip == 'dash':
                s.append('_')
            elif blip == 'dot':
                s.append('.')
        return s


class S(Letter):
    def __init__(self):
         pattern = ['.', '.', '.']
         super().__init__(pattern)

You are really close! The instructions ask that the code "creates an instance with the correct pattern", but this code is returning the pattern itself.

So just make a new instance using it:

        return cls(s)

Happy coding! :christmas_tree: And for some holiday-season fun and coding practice, give Advent of Code a try! :santa:
