Should'nt I use super() and assign 20 to the variable sides?

dice.py 
import random


class Die:

        if sides < 2:
            raise ValueError("Can't have fewer than two sides")
        self.sides = sides
        self.value = random.randint(1, sides)

    def __int__(self):

You already have the call to "super", but there are other issues:

  • the word "class" is indented one space (but should not be)
  • the colon that should end the "def" line is missing
  • you need to pass "size" as an argument when calling the super's __init__ method
