Am I missing anything in this challenge?
class Song:
def __init__(self, artist, title, length):
self.artist = artist
self.title = title
self.length = length
def __eq__(self,other):
return int(self.length)==other
def __lt__(self,other):
return int(self.length)<other
def __gt__(self,other):
return int(self.length)>other
def __lte__(self,other):
return int(self.length)<other or int(self.length)==other
def __gte__(self,other):
return int(self.length)>other or int(self.length)==other

A few other issues:
- you won't need to explicitly refer to the "length" property once you have the
__int__method - the method names of
__lte__and__gte__should be__le__and__ge__ - you can use the "<=" and ">=" operators to simplify the inequality tests

def __int__(self):
above your __ eq __ method.
Other than that you should be good :)

18,975 PointsWhen we add the int method, we’re just returning self.length. I don’t understand how this is converting the value to an integer. Also for the comparison methods, when we put int(self), is this referring to the int method since we’re trying to get self.length?

230,970 PointsThe length is the value. What the method does is allow the conversion of a Song (which is an object) into an integer value.
