how would you use assertIsInstance() instead of assertEqual() for test_adding() in dice.py, if possible?

Hi,

So Kenneth demonstrates that this works:

    def test_adding(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.hand1+self.hand3,
                         sum(self.hand1.results)+sum(self.hand3.results))

Is there a way to test the same case, but using the following, instead?

    def test_adding(self):
        self.assertIsInstance(self.hand1+self.hand3, 
                                          ... )

I tried dice.Roll for arg2 of assertIsInstance but it didn't work. Also, what is the command to find the answer that I'm looking for -- the second arg for assertIsInstance()? Thank you!
