Overriding methods from the super class

I thik i did everything correct in the syntax but still my solution is not accepted.

inventory.py 
class Inventory:
    def __init__(self):
        self.slots = []

    def add_item(self, item):
        self.slots.append(item)

class SortedInventory (Inventory):
    def add_item(self, item):
        super().add_item(self, item)

Everything seems correct. There is a space between SortedInventory and (Inventory). Try removing it and running again.

When you call the parent class "add_item" method, you don't need to pass "self" explicitly:

        super().add_item(item)

Here you don't need to put self in the super().add_item(item)
