PHP Development Techdegree Student 29,615 Pointsgetting error __init__() takes 1 positional argument but two were given
here's my numstring code
class NumString:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = str(value)
def __str__(self):
return self.value
def __init__(self):
return int(self.value)
def __float__(self):
return float(self.value)
Then in shell I run:
five = NumString(5)
And I get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given
Can't figure out why

__init__()
defined? It doesn't have any parameters defined (besides self) - don't you want to remove that method?
