TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'sides'

import random

class Die: def init(self, sides=2, value=0): if not sides >=2: raise ValueError("Must have at least 2 sides") if not isinstance(sides, int): raise ValueError("sides must have whole number") self.value = value or random.randint(1, sides)

#turning instance of die into integer 

def __init__(self):
    return self.value 

def __eq__(self, other):
    return int(self) == other

def __ne__(self, other):
    return int(self) !=other 

def __gt__(self, other):
    return int(self) >other

def __it__(self, other):
    return int(self) <other

def __ge__(self, other):
    return int(self) >other or int(self) == other

def __le__(self,other):
    return int(self) < other or int(self) == other

the error is for this part

class D6(Die): def init(self, sides, value=0): super().init(sides=6, value=value)

Look at the sides attribute.

It seems like it's complaining about passing the first argument as "sides=6" instead of just "6".

If that's not it, provide a link to the original course page and use Markdown formatting to be sure your code is being shown correctly.
