Answer 1

Hi CoolGuy,

What language is that? I'm having trouble without braces

Answer 2

python

Answer 3

I would think that:

return self.evaluate(story.get_title())

would be all that's needed.

When you inherit from a class, it's methods come into the child class's namespace.

Answer 4

i thought that too, but if i do

return self.evaluate(story.get_title())

i get an error, saying that a str type doesn't have get_title() attribute

Answer 5

TBH, the posted code is just classes. There's no implementation (running) code, so I can't troubleshoot the problem.

Answer 6

first thing i noticed, when you initialize a newsStory instance why are you specifically converting the bit of the news story to a string? you could just have self.guid = guid etc.

in your TitleTrigger class, why are you setting word = self?

when you define your is_word_in method, you forgot to add a self in the def line it should look like this:

def is_word_in(self, text)
