Let's practice using @classmethod! help please

I tried looking at all the other answers but still can't see what I'm doing wrong - probably something really simple.

Here's the code challenge: Let's practice using @classmethod!

Create a class method in Letter named from_string that takes a string like "dash-dot" and creates an instance with the correct pattern (['_', '.']).

Here is my code:

    @classmethod
    def from_string(cls, string1):
        final_string = []
        text = string1.split("-")
        for i in text:
            if i == "dash":
                final_string.append("_")
            elif i == "dot":
                final_string.append(".")
        return cls(final_string)

I put your code into the challenge and it passed first time - try refreshing the page and if needed copy and paste in your code again, sometimes I have this issue (must be something with the server).

Good work!
