What is wrong with my code?
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)

231,261 PointsYou 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! And for some holiday-season fun and coding practice, give Advent of Code a try!
